Tiger Cattitude

Hi everyone I'm here with another quick step by step to share with you today that I recently created for Couture Creations "Tiger Cattitude"

this is a pic of one of the cheeky tiger cubs I had the pleasure of playing with at Tiger Kingdom in Phuket.... one of the best experiences I have ever had...

Now onto how I created the layout...

I began by cutting 4 cycad fern leaves out of thin craft foam...

I stuck two fern leaves together and then adhered them in opposite directions onto chipboard, to create my own foam stamps...

 Next I die cut lots of leaves from both the Cycad Fern and the Beach Fern from the Hearts Ease papers; Golden Pansies and Pansy Rainfall...
 Next up ink all the leaves...

 I used the Hearts Ease paper; Pansy Grid as my base for the layout and I stamped a random pattern to sit the photo on and then I randomly stamped the edge of the page...

 using a stencil cut from a magazine cover with the Conservatory die... randomly apply some Antique Gold Glitzin' Glamour for a little sparkle...

 adhere the die cut leaves to the photo...

and finally put it all together with a chipboard title, covered in some more of the Glitzen' Glamour...

Moments

Hi everyone I'm here with another quick step by step to share with you today that I recently created for Couture Creations using the Floral Layers die sets.... "Moments"

this is a pic of my cute niece Hannah enjoying an afternoon at the Werribee zoo, here she was enthralled with the meerkats.... 

Now onto how I created the layout...
I began by creating a stencil cutting out two sets of the Clavelina layers from a magazine cover....

Next using the Coredinations Heavy Weight white cardstock... I added modelling paste through my made stencil...
I dried the modelling paste using the Heat Tool, to puff it up and create texture...

then add some colour...

I used the flowers cut out when creating the stencil, to outline the modelling paste and to draw in a few extra flower shapes...

I then rubbed over some Inka Gold for highlights...

Next I sprayed up some of the bulk white flowers to match the layout...

Using some foam tape, I adhered the photo onto the background over a piece of gauze....

Finally I added a title and put the layout together....
