Design Kit - Layout 2 Scrapbook Garden

Finally I managed to use another browser which has enabled me to upload my pictures 

This is the 2nd layout for this months design kit 

for the Scrapbook Garden

and the technique is paint dabbers.

Once again on this layout also I used the dabber for 

2 examples of its use.

The first was to paint up a rubber stamp with the dabber and stamp the image onto a tag.

White on white didn't show up that well you can vaguely see the stamped image

I used a heat gun to set the paint

Then using a selection of distress inks I completely covered the tag 

and also the stamped image

Then i spritzed some kitchen towel with cold water

and gently rubbed the ink away from the stamped image 

the ink doesnt stick to the paint so its easily wiped away 

revealing the image below

Even after wiping the ink off you can go back many times and

add more colour and keep wiping until you get the desired colour

Next I ran some of the green cardstock through the cuttlebug 

and embossed the Bingo image onto it

Using the paint dabber and gently brushing over 

the embossed image the paint attaches to the raised area 

Giving a distressed finish to the embossing

Starting with the 12 x 12 I layered the tag

photo image matted on the green cardstock and also the 

for the record borders paper

then the embossed image and the bingo 

image from the borders paper also

adding a wooden button to look like a bingo chip

with some white 12 x 12 cardstock i cut a series of triangles 

and added them to the layout

highlighting the corner ones with some borders 

triangles also

I then cut my Win Win title from the green 

card to finish off the layout

Design Kit - Scrapbook Garden Jan 2013

After no internet for 10 weeks Ive come back to find blogger

doesnt seem to want to upload pictures.

Having to upload in HMTL and flick back and forth between

that and Compose it seems to have reached its limit at

5 pictures for which I can only apologise.

This is my layout for this months design kit for

The Scrapbook Garden 

The technique this month was to use a paint dabber

and show some of the effects you can use it for.

Ive used 2 on this layout, stencilling using a mask

and also dabbing chipboard shapes to cover them with the paint.

         Starting with the Blue base 12 x 12 I used the Snow Cap dabber and the clock stencil to stencil the image onto the bottom corner of the paper.

      Next I used some chipboard clock hands which I coloured

 with the snow cap dabber and added them to the clock face

         I cut a strip from the ‘For the Record’ paper ‘Borders and matt it onto white cardstock

        Next cut a strip of white cardstock slightly smaller to which I added a time quote and some rubber stamped images relating to the theme, matting the quote onto the borders paper also to make it stand out.

       I then cut more clocks from the borders paper and matt those on the white too.

         Added my photo which was also matt onto the white card and also my title cut from the white.

Once again I apologise for the lack of images to show the other stages of

the layout.
