Charming - Creative Embellishments

Hi everyone!  I'm up on the Creative Embellishments Blog today.   Spent sometime in my scrapbook room this past weekend creating this vintage layout.  


Papers are from Vintage Chic by Craft O'Clock, Prima Flowers from my stash and a variety of chipboard from the Creative Embellishments Store. All chipboard was treated with paint and some with paint and embossing enamels.  Lots of layering!  Oh how I love to layer!


The base of the layout features the Flourish Circle Frame.  I painted it with DecoArt Americana Mississippi Mud Paint. To add some texture I embossed it with Stampendous Aged Taupe Embossing Enamel, and stippled with Folk Art Linen Paint.  Love the roses!  I used Roses Border and Rose Pieces, both painted with DecoArt Americana Blush Pink Paint.  All papers were inked with Tim Holtz Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide Ink.


I painted the Damask 2 with Folk Art Matte Ballet Pink Paint and stippled with Folk Art Matte Linen Paint.  I cut it into 2 pieces and placed them above and below the photo.  


Here is the bottom half of the Damask 2.  The title is from Tim Holtz idea-ology Clipping Stickers.


Flourish Set 14 was painted with Folk Art Matte Succulent and Forest Moss Paints, embossed with Stampendous Aged Taupe Embossing Enamel and stippled with DecoArt Americana Warm White and Mississippi Mud Paints.

Perfume Layout - Creative Embellishments

Hi everyone! I'm up on the Creative Embellishments Blog today with a colorful perfume layout.


 I used papers and die cuts from the Rose Parfum collection by Stamperia and chipboard from the store.  Love all the beautiful flower diecuts.  

The base of the layout features the Intricate Circle Frame painted with Folk Art Matte Honeycomb and Wicker White Paints. Tucked within the layering I used the small frame from Doily Frame Set 1 painted with Folk Art Matte Linen Paint and inked with Tim Holtz Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide Ink.  I cut the frame into several pieces.



I painted the Elegant Flourish and Curly Leaves with Tim Holtz Bundled Sage Distress Paint and DecoArt Americana Light Avocado and Mississippi Mud Paints.  Next I rubbed on some Finnabair Green Brocade Wax and lightly inked the chipboard with Tim Holtz Gathered Twigs Distress Paint.


Lots of layering!

Hi everyone!  I'm up on the Creative Embellishments Blog today sharing a vintage layout. I've said may a time, I love vintage photos and am drawn to neutral colors.


I used the last of my papers from the Vintage Artistry Essentials by 49 and Market.  Rub-Ons are from 49 and Market Everyday Essentials. Lots of layering and chipboard from the Creative Embellishments store. All chipboard pieces were treated with paint.

Mementos Of Lives Lived - Creative Embellishments

 Hi everyone!  I'm up on the Creative Embellishments blog today.  I have so many paper collections, that it is hard to keep track of them all.  Aren't we all guilty of that?  I came across a collection by Mintay Papers, Grandma's Attic and knew I had to create with it.  I don't recall my Grandmother having an attic, but I do remember all of her little treasures, some of which I have.


Love the color palette on the background paper! I also used Grandma's Attic Die Cuts and 6x8 Add On Paper Pack.  I used several pieces of chipboard from the Creative Embellishments Store, all of which were treated with paint. Lots of layering and some greenery and flowers from my stash.

I used the Chicken Wire Circle on the base of the layout.  Paint colors used are Folk Art Steel Gray, Folk Art Metallic Nickel, DecoArt Americana Terra Cotta and Folk Art Matte Wicker White.  The Floral Filigree chipboard was painted with Tim Holtz Uncharted Mariner Distress Paint and Folk Art Matte French Blue and stippled with Folk Art Matte Wicker White.  Beneath the layering I used
Security Door 3 painted with Folk Art Villa Green Paint and Folk Art Shale Green Terra Cotta Paint.  The edges of the door were inked with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink.


Sitting on top of the Chicken Wire Circle is Doily 2 painted with Folk Art Matte Vintage White Paint.
The 2 pieces from Flourish Set 27 were painted with Folk Art Matte Villa Green Paint, Folk Art Shale Green Terra Cotta Paint and stippled with Folk Art Matte Thicket Paint.  The large Antique Scissors
was painted with Folk Art Steel Grey Paint and Folk Art Metallic Nickel Paint.


Here's another view of the Doily 2.  The title is from Tim Holtz Idea-ology Clippings Sticker Book.


The mannequin is from the Sewing Machine Set.  I painted it with Folk Art Matte Country Twill paint and inked the edges with Vintage Photo Ink.
