Live your Dream with Emma for 2Crafty Chipboard

Hi Everyone, Emma with you all.
I hope everyone is doing ok and are safe in this unusual time.
Today I hope I can inspire and help take your mind off the outside world for just a small time.
I really enjoy Steam Punk themes and so today's layout is a 'pretty' version of that, using awesome chipboard to compliment the theme.


Chipboard used:

Harlequin Clumps
Decorative Dangling Bits Set1
Steampunk Cog Strips
Fancy Clock Hand Set2


The perfect choice for this theme!


Most of the chipboard is painted white and then coated with 3 different emboss powders.
A chunky Pink one and a smooth shiny pink one, mixed with a smooth silver. And I love how the soft pink looks against the green, they really compliment each other.


The Harlequin clump I coated with a distress oxide and then I clear embossed.


I just love the Fancy Clock Hands so much, will need to add these to my stash so I never run out. They are perfect with any layout but I love how they look on this one especially.

I hope this has been a small distraction and inspires you to have a play in your scrap room at some stage.

 Stay safe everyone and I will see you all very soon.

Emma xx

Destination Freedom - Created for 13@rts GDT

Hi everyone,
I'm super excited to be joining you all as guest designer!!
It was so awesome to play with beautiful products.
I'm from a country town called Clare in South Australia's wine region and have been scrapping for 14 years. Mixed media is my go to and a personal fave as I love getting my hands dirty.
Plus there are so many cool products out there to use. 
 My first project share with you....


I used the awesome Moonflowers paper from the Under the Stars collection for my base sheet.


I chose the perfect pieces from the Ephemera pack to compliment this awesome artwork I found on Pinterest. The background work was done with the Star Alliance acrylic stamp, that I gold embossed.


It is such an honor to play with these products.


I painted a few of the embellishments with 13@rts black gesso and Gold Pearl acrylic Paint.
after my composition was complete I then mixed Royal Gold Satin Pearl Pigment with a splash of water and then painted around my elements creating a shimmery border around my whole composition.This pigment is so awesome.
 I finished with a few On the Wall text and some Splash white ink.

I hope you enjoyed my first share and I look forward to joining you all again soon.
Till then, Emma xx
