LUMINARTE, MOUNTBOARD CUT-OUTS AND ME

Spraying the Luminarte Radiant Rain and Perfect Pearl Mists on to the Decor Plates or the Mountboard Cut-Outs is very different to spraying on to blotting paper.

The surface is not absorbent at all, so the sprays pool and create more of a marbled effect.

Below are some Mountboard Cut-Outs sprayed with some of the above ink sprays. The Cut-Outs were dried using a heat gun to speed the process. They were then stamped with some of my new Floral Duet stamp designs. The butterflies and dragonflies were stamped on to inked blotting paper and cut out.

This tag has been inked in the same way, stamped and a flower torn from stamped blotting paper. The fern is from Prima, sprayed with the Luminarte Radiant Rains. Liquid Pearls for the cosmos centre.







SHEENA DOUGLASS PAINT FUSION

I now have Sheena Douglass's Paint Fusion products HERE

The Decor Plates and Mountboard Cut-Outs are great for Paint Fusion being thick enough not to warp when paint is applied but light enough to fix to walls with blutack or with the small hook which is included in each pack.

 Here are some artwork samples







The Christmas samples were created by Elizabeth Robinson (thank you Elizabeth)

CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE

The wine label and backing papers are from Ooh La La's CD Carnival of Colour. The bottle and glass are mountboard Celebration Cut-Outs from CaroLines.
The bottle and glass were inked with Eggplant and Silver alcohol inks. The bubbles on the glass are from CaroLines Seahorses Die Sheet (which is on offer at present), and were embossed with silver tinsel powder.
The border punch is one of Martha Stewarts. Embellished with punched butterflies and pearl gems.

CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE

This week's CD Sunday Challenge is...Die Cutting

As I missed last weeks challenge (Oriental) I've made a card using both topics!

The main image and paper are from Joanna Sheen's Oriental Dreams.

The die cut is one of my new Cut-Outs...Corner Diamond 1. I cut it from black card, scanned the diamond part into computer and created a template from it. I then imported the CD image and placed the template ( making it a bit smaller) over it, adjusting the size until it 'looked right'.

The corners were put through a cuttlebug Eastern embossing folder. I then sponged the four corners with Glacier Blue Opalite ink and embossed with several layers of clear powder to create the lacquered effect. The pieces were layered over the paper and mounted on to the card.

Embellished with gems and pearls.

NEW DRAGONFLY STAMPS

I decidied to try Sheena Douglass's Paint Fusion technique with my new Heartistic Dragonfly stamps.

I crackled the large Scalloped Circle Mountboard Cut-Out and stamped 3 of the dragonflies with grey ink.

Then painted the wings and bodies. The whole circle was sprayed with a glitter spray from Crafter's Companion.

NEW MOUNTBOARD SHAPE

We have a new mountboard shape in the Garden Pack of Cut-Outs...a large Watering Can.

Here's what it looks like decorated with a poppy from Sheen Douglass's set of Paint Fusion stamps.

The watering can was painted with 2 coats of black acrylic paint, stamped with Sheena's poppy stamp and leaves, and then painted using her Paint Fusion technique. A layer of Distress Crackle finished it off.
