Fantastic Designer Friday with Arlene!

Hey there LSG fans and welcome to another Fantastic Designer Friday! I'm honored to be your host for today and super excited to share my latest scrapbook page with you. This one's a little "off the page" so grab your coffee (I have a video for ya!), sit back and enjoy!

I mounted this scrapbook page on heavy acrylic. I had this picture of my 3 boys taken at Santa Cruz beach a few weeks ago and I thought Graphic 45's Tropical Travelogue papers AND Lindy's Stamp Gang's Caribbean Cruise and Hawaiian Island Flat Fabio sets would be the perfect combination of color!

Here are some photos:

Here's a video tutorial to share how this page came together. Enjoy!

Have a happy, crafty weekend!

Fantastic Designer Friday with Bona (livelovescrap)

 

Hello Everyone!

I'm excited to share with you another Fantastic Designer Friday project I created using the fabulous Flat Fabio Sprays. These past several weeks I've been having so much fun creating mixed media projects and thought it would be really fun to create some Burlap journal books with Muslin fabric and Watercolor paper. You can also use Canvas paper, card stock paper and so much more. All the Lindy Stamp Gang products are dye based and can be used on any porous surface therefore, the Muslin fabric was perfect as my pages.

 

 

 

I painted in all the Dylusions stamped images with a #2 Round paint brush. I just love how beautiful and vibrant the colors appear on the Muslin. I first sprayed both pages with the Lucious Lime , Caribbean Blue and Magical Mai Tai. The leaves are hand painted with Luscious Lime and the house were also hand painted with T-bird Turquoise, Mango Mania, Flying Monkey Midnight, Hibiscus Rose, Summer Lovin' Sun, and Frenchy's Pink Pouf. I then stamped a few of my background stamps and added some modeling paste using The Crafters Workshop Ledger template. To keep the pages from fraying, I burnt the edges using my lighter. I really liked how it also give it a vintage look to it. I hope you enjoyed my featured project for Fantastic Designer Friday. Look out for next Friday's projects. Happy Friday!!!

Fantastic Designer Friday with Yvonne (ScrapBliss)

Hello friends, it's Yvonne again! Hope you're having a lovely day.  It's Friday so it's gotta be good, right? If you're like me, you're anxious to spend some time crafting this weekend!

But before I bust out my paper, glue, and Lindy's, I want to share the project 

I completed last weekend...

I was inspired by some interesting guidelines set forth in a challenge I was wanted to participate in.  It required the use of a set of random items. The items were as follows: a tp roll, acrylic paint, gift wrapping tissue (the kind you use to stuff in a gift bag,) and chipboard.

So these are the items I stared with...

Part of the requirement was that these items must be used, but you could add any other embellishment.  I've been totally intriged by all of the Mixed Media projects so many of our fellow crafters have been making, and figured this would be a good time to try.  I've also been itching to try out the new Flat Fabios.  The colors are amazing - so rich and vibrant!  Well, I ended up using a TON of Lindy's... starting with the Fabios and working my way through Moon Shadows, Embossing Powers, Glitz Spritz, and Starburst Stains!  Woohoo!!!  My fingers were so stained, I had to scrub then several times!

Here's a collage of some of the preliminary steps of getting this started:

Once I prepared the chipboard to use as a faux canvas (lol!) I used colors from the Go Greased Lightnin' Set, specifically I used Greased Lightnin' Green & Danny Zuko Denim.

Next, I prepared the items I wanted to lay on the chipboard. 

I used Grab a Guy Gold Starburst Stain on the painted tp roll, and I used it to make the flowers. The wood veneer cloud was painted white, sprayed with Scintillating Silver Glitz Spritz, and stamped with a dictionary print stamp.   Moon Shadow Ink in Van Dyke Sepia was used to stain the wood fence, and then sprayed it with Catus Gold.  The little chipboard bird has a base coat of white paint, and then a layer of several of the Beauty School Drop-Out Flat Fabio collection.  For a finishing coat I embossed it with Magic Moon Pearls. 

Last I added a few flowers, leaf ribbon, and tiny butterflies as finishing touches.  And taa-daaaaa, one completed Mixed Media Faux Canvas completed! Yay!!! No wonder everyone's making them - I had tons of FUN, and hope you'll try and LOVE it!

Well my friends, I hope you enjoyed today's visit to our blog.  Our hopes are to inspire you, motivate you to create, and share techniques & ideas.  And of course, we love showing off our Lindy's!!!

Thank you so much for visiting! Hope you have a great weekend with lots of fabulousity! LOL!

Hugs,

yvonne
