Scrap The Boys November Challenge - Sports

Hello all scrap friends,


Today I would like to share with you the layout I created for  Scrap The Boys challenge this month. 
The challenge is so awesome that we have to create a layout using our boys in sporting activity. 



I am so excited as this is my first entry layout challenge at the Scrap The Boys. 
A fun challenge for sport and I couldn't resist playing along.

My son actually quite likes playing basketball. He has played basketball since he was 10 years old and he joined a basketball club until now.

On his 16th birthday last year we took him to Kingston Park Raceway to try something different 
so this is the photo of my son when he was racing a go kart.
He was very happy and enjoyed it! 


Here is my creation,

Remember - OTP Project

Hello crafty friends!

Tidak terasa kita sekarang berada di bulan yang baru di tahun ini, bulan November itu berarti sebulan lagi kita akan merayakan Natal dan berada di penghujung tahun ini. Saya dapat membayangkan pasti sekarang anda semua mulai sibuk mempersiapkan hadiah Natal yang terbaik untuk diberikan kepada keluarga dan orang-orang yang dekat dengan anda atau bahkan merencanakan liburan natal yang indah dengan keluarga.

Hari ini saya ingin berbagi dengan anda sebuah OTP project yang saya buat. Beberapa bulan lalu saya menemukan sebuah smooth brick texture panel at the Reverse Garbage Shop, salah satu tempat favorite saya untuk hunting the old stuff untuk di gunakan pada project mixed media. Dan ini sangatlah tepat waktunya saya menggunakannya dan merubahnya menjadi sesuatu yang indah dengan menggunakan Rust, Concrete and Moss Painted Finishes. Jadi 3 produk dalam satu karya!

How so cool it is...!!


"Remember"
Life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful



Pertama-tama saya melapisi brick texture dengan clear gesso dan membiarkannya kering. 


Setelah itu dengan menggunakan Concrete Paint, saya mewarnainya sehingga kelihatan seperti texture dinding beton. 

Ohhh saya sangat... sangat menyukai ini. Kelihatan sangat sempurna dan seperti semen beton!



Langkah berikutnya, melapisi chipboard dengan heavy gesso dan mengguntingnya menjadi beberapa bagian yang terpisah seperti yang saya inginkan. Dan menaruh lebih tebal heavy gesso pada frame chipboard sehingga memberikan demensi dan bertekstur. Dan kemudian dengan Rust Paint saya mewarnainya memberikan efek rustic dan seperti benda yang berusia lama.


Beberapa chipboard yang terpisah saya berikan distress ink dengan warna coklat tua dan sedikit warna hitam kemudian melapisinya dengan crackle paint. 
Untuk burung dan butterfly saya mewarnainya terpisah dengan warna-warna metalic. 


Kemudian langkah berikutnya saya mulai membangun layers serta menghiasi, menaruh bunga dan beberapa embelishments dan foto pada project kemudian di lem semuanya setelah semuanya terlihat baik. Dan langkah terakhir adalah menaruh beberapa Moss paint secara acak di sana-sini untuk memberikan efek lebih kelihatan seperti tua dan berlumut pada dinding beton. Lalu dengan menggunakan jari saya mengambil sedikit white gesso dan kemudian memberikan sedikit sentuhan efek pada bunga dan embellishments. Meletakkan beberapa micro beads secara acak sebagai sentuhan akhir.


Berikut ini adalah beberapa close up foto 










Saya sangat menyukai proyek yang saya buat ini, begitu menikmati setiap langkah pembuatannya dari mewarnai dan membuat efek old serta berlumut pada media dan chipboard yang saya gunakan. 

Saya berharap kalian menikmati proyek yang saya buat!

"Treasure From The Sea" Mixed Media Canvas - Couture Creations

Hi again!

 Novita Ferris here, I'm back with another project for my last Guest DT post for the Couture Creations blog for this month and I hope you have all been well. 
Today I would like to share my mixed media canvas I have been working on with the Anna Griffin Mixed Media Collection and the Sea Breeze Collection. What can I say, I really had a lots fun playing with these wonderful products. 


Treasure From The Sea



Okay! Let's get started! 
With a 8x10" canvas I coated the canvas area with some white gesso.



Once the canvas was dried, I used a palette knife to added some matte texture paste with the stencil to add some texture on the canvas. 




 I used a heat gun to dry the canvas before colouring.
I have chosen blue, pink and brown pigment powders to paint the canvas. Using the tip of brush I pick up some gloss paste  and the colours and then  painted it on the canvas. 


First I painted all over the canvas with blue colour to make background and then I painted with pink and brown colours randomly  to give a more aged effect on the canvas. 



 While the paint dried, I chose some patterned papers from the Sea Breeze Collection Pack (CO724664, CO724669, CO724652) which I will use for creating my canvas. 



I started off by trimming the patterned paper "The Sea Breeze" to 7.5 x 5.5"  and then glue it  on the canvas to make a background.




Next up I fussy cut out the shells and light house from the paper in collection pack called "Navigating At Sea" and "A Day Fishing" then distressed all the edges of the pieces.  Ink them afterwards with dark brown and you will already start having lovely embellishments.  



Now comes some die-cutting, I chose the "Figure 8 Knot" in dark brown and the "Oil Paint" in light blue cardstock.



One of  my favourite things to do and I can't stop making them! 
Yes, I made my own pearls from hot glue using the glue gun. Hold the glue gun and squeeze slowly on the non stick craft mat to make a little water drop and while the glue is still wet I sprinkle blue fine glitter on top. 
You can make your own pearls with any colours that you want with the "Fine glitter set".



Finally it is all about layering of the background canvas, once you have put the netting across the corner of the canvas. Add your matted photo and then add dies cuts, shells, charms, fussy cut seashells and light house, metal trinkets and title from the Sea Breeze sticker sheet. 



Use the photo as a guide for embellishment placement.



 As a finishing touch, with my finger I applied white gesso in all of the edges of the  embellishments to give a softer effect. 


Here are some close up photos 





I really hope you enjoyed this canvas tutorial.
