This layout was inspired by Suz’s son, who woke her up one morning with a totally unsolicited and rather eccentric list of favourite things. She didn’t really pay attention to the first few, but once she was focused she knew it was a list of gold. Unfortunately, though she intended to, she didn’t write them down straight away, and many are lost in the mists of bad memory.
There's a lot of gorgeous Tattered Angels product in this deceptively simple layout by Suz. Firstly the Postage Stamp Framed Fonts that she has covered in a mix of Glimmer Mists, and then there's the more up to date Crepe Ribbons and Heidi Swapp Flocked Mistable Simple Sayings. There's a rainbow of muted Glimmer Mists and Suz has also used some of Pink Paislee's Parisian Anthology resist papers within the frames.
Louise always loves to get a Tattered Angels brief, as it allows her to explore even more creative ways of creating interesting and textural backgrounds for her layouts. Today Louise has created two layouts with a technique she uses of creating a white base first with gesso, and then spritzing Glimmer Mist into shimmering pools of colour over the top. In the second layout she painted directly over Butterfly Framed Font shapes. She has finished her pages off with hand doodling and Prima and Zva bling.
We were in awe of this stunning technique shared with us by Nicole Pomeroy, who was lovely enough to explain how she created these beautiful flowers. ‘To create my transparency (or should I say transparent flower) I first sprayed it with three different colours of Glimmer Mist, and once dry, I used my a die to cut some flowers. With a heat gun, I heated each flower to make them curl, the longer I kept the heat on them the more curl I achieved, which is what you want when you are working from the base petals to the smaller ones in the centre. Once these cooled I glued them together and there you have it, custom transparency and custom embellishment.’
Thanks so much Nicole – it’s a beautiful technique and a stunning layout.
This amazing canvas was created by Peg Hewitt using a variety of amazing Tattered Angels products. Peg has also used a gesso like medium to create amazing textures on her canvas background. Thank you so much Peg for sharing your wonderful canvas.
The above scarf and the felt flower arrangement was created by the amazing talent of Martha Richardson. Isn't it just a fabulous idea - using the Glimmer Glams / Glazes to create and decorate a pattern on material/clothing! This idea is so cool and fabulous.
