Here is my inspiration for you

My love for layouts is very well know and I simply can't think for other things more than layouts and journals :😄

Here is a layout created with Shabby Chic stack

First step is to layer your layout with interesting patterns and once you are happy with it falling in place, glue it down to start working on it !

I have tried stenciling on the layout with the modelling paste and the stencil

Here I have blended chalk paints with the modelling paste to give it a new shade which would synchronize with the layout

I have further stenciled with plain modelling paste for more interesting textures

Finally decorated it with chipboard elements which again is chalk painted and I totally can't get over them :)

For the final touch, I have added the natural flowers and butterfly :)

Hope to have inspired you , Wish to see more of my creations for inspiration, please click here

Color Splash sprays fanfare!!

Good Morning crafty heads,its me Lekha here with a quick and fun project using the amazing new range of Itsy Bitsy Sprays ...

Yes, its all about the recently launched COLOR SPLASH sprays. Available in a fantastic range of colors -charcoal, mocha, paprika, berry blast, tangerine, gold rush, lemon zing, lime splash, ocean mist, grape crush, black currant, hot pink.

And we also have a launch offer - 15% on the entire range & 25% if you buy all 12 colors!

If you still have not tried them you are missing out on some colorful splash. These are ideal for your mix media, scrap booking projects. Our DT member Tanvi has some very cool ideas for creating great backgrounds for your cards and scrapbook pages. These are rich and vibrant in color. I have used few Color Splash sprays for this mix media project. Working with these sprays and whitewash alterable box.

I painted the box with black gesso. These sprays are rich and vibrant even on black gesso.

I have used modelling paste and chevron stencil to create a wonderful texture on the box lid to give a little dimension. Once dry used Lemon Zing,Hot Pink, Ocean Mist color splash sprays.

I used these sprays with crochet lace and they work wonderfully dying the lace trims.

I am amazed at the versatility these sprays have. They remain true to color with even these jute burlap flowers.

Since these react well with water you can use them directly for vibrant color or dilute them with little water for a more subtle shade. You can spray two shades to form a new color.
