October Mixed Media Kit - By Elisa Ablett

 Happy Weekend everyone!

Elisa here from the design team for Shop and Crop Scrapbooking with my layout designed for the awesome 'october-2017-mixed-media-mania-kit' plus a few sneak peek photos of my 'experiments' with the mica powder prior to starting my layout.

The October Kit was designed by ME!!

and contains the following:

1 pot of Colour blast Singing The Blues Mica powder

1 pot of Colour blast Tangareen Dream Mica Powder

1 Scrapfx Stencil

1 piece of Cocoa Vanilla TOtally Rad PP

1 6x8' Cocoa Vanilla Studio You Rock Sticker Sheet

1 pieces of white mixed media cardstock

1piece of Black Cardstock

30cm of Green Tara Black Cobweb Ribbon

plus instructions to complete the layout below!

If you would like to purchase the kit, head over to the shop - october-2017-mixed-media-mania-kit-one-off-purchase and at checkout use the code EA5 for an added discount!! 

Here is the awesome Scrap Fx stencil - Cool Circles

Two Colourblast Mica Powders.

Before i started the layout i wanted to have a little play with the mica powders to decide on which direction i was going to go, so i mixed the mica powder with modelling paste, gel medium, water and i was also going to emboss with it.

When using the Mica powder with gel medium i found the colour to be very strong and also dried to a glossy almost enamel finish. Also i added water to a small spray bottle and added a small amount of the powder in the water and as you can see from the left side of my experiment sheet, the results was a lovely shimmering spray.

I decided on using the powder mixed with modelling paste for my layout, modelling paste in my opinion is one of the best to put through a stencil and doesnt dull the colour of the powder too much.

So on a craft sheet i mixed the powder with a small amount of modelling paste and folded it over and over with a palette knife, adding more powder to increase the vibrancy of the colour. Then apply through the stencil on your layout.

Its a fabulous kit to learn more about stencilling and mica powder and mixed media techniques.

Here are my close ups!

Thanks for stopping by the blog today!

'Beautiful' by Elisa Ablett

Hi D-lish lovers,

Im up on the D-lish Blog again with another mixed media layout! Here is the post below - 

Elisa here from the design team with my latest layout for D-lish Scraps, a mixed media layout chock full of gorgeous D-lish goodies.

My background was created with thick Mixed Media cardstock (a must), Candy and Paris Colour Blast Shimmer Dusts and a 'Pear Tart' Irresistible Spray and some stamping using Prima Ink and Layer stamps plus stamps from Aall and Create.

Let's take a look at the D-lish goodies on the layout!

In the main cluster on the page I layered Red Cabbage Roses, Washi Tape, Red Sequin Heart, a journal strip from the latest 'Just Add Paper' Kit - Primrose-Lane, Creative-Cuts - Roses, lime green gauze and lime green flowers from a previous Just-Add-Paper-Kit , and a chipboard film strip. I also embossed a Kinder-Kreations - Beautiful Chipboard Title in white to match my page.

In this second cluster there I feature the gorgeous Rose Creative Cuts, 'Just Add Paper' Primrose Lane Red Cabbage Roses, Washi tape, Journal Spot and Red Flair Button. Plus a little more of that lovely lime green gauze. 

On both my clusters I have added some plastic green 'look a like' leaves I had in my stash, I picked them up from an op-shop a long time ago and never used them.

The lovely Creative cuts look fantastic against the coloured background ! They are so versatile, you can colour them or leave them plain.

Make sure you head to the shop to check out the bargains in the Clearance Section.

That's it from me today, I hope my layout inspires you to try something different with your D-lish Stash.

NOW FOR MY DESIGN TEAM TAKE ON THE CHALLENGE

 I chose the bottom line of the challenge, Watercolours, Doilies and Stencils.

I chose to complete a Mixed Media Tag using Lindy's sprays and magicals as my watercolours, a handmade doily using modelling paste (oh yes I did!) and a Dusty Attic Stencil with modelling paste. If I get enough interest I will do a tutorial making modelling paste embellies, so let me know in the comments or contact Kylie if you would like to see it happen :-)

And introducing a couple of RAW Mixed Media Tags from Memory Maze Chipboard that I helped design, which is super exciting! 

These tags are heavy weight chipboard with custom made 'fancy tops' and they will withstand copious amounts of mediums. Perfect fancy ATC's or just mixed media tags. 

Here they are in their RAW state, ready for artsy fartsy stuff and things 😝

Plenty more designs available with more on the way. If you want to get your hands on these beauties, contact Kylie at Shop and Crop for a special customer order.
