Scraps of Darkness - Smile often

Welcome!

Today I want to share with you a new layout for the August

 Sparkle & Shine Kit

 I was inspired from the amazing marble effects on the background papers from Simple Stories contain in the Main Kit,

very delicate colours, which are also used in this layout together with the filigree Papermania Wild Rose Crochet Trim and the pink feather from the Elements On Kit.

some details

 Simple Stories Beautiful Bits & Pieces Diecuts are very suitable, beautiful colors and shapes

a very soft feather as background and a metal butterfly from my stuff

and have you seen the new washi tapes from Prima Marketing, a wonderful addition

 

I used an another paper from Simply Stories collection to cut out some beautiful flowers as layer

under some paper flowers, it gives an amazing 3D effect!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone!

Kerstin is back with another vintage inspired layout. 

Have you seen this wonderful resin frame from Prima in our July Wayfarer Elements On Kit,

beautiful or?!

Together with this background paper and the printed chipboards from the Wanderlust collection a perfect opportunity for me to make a travel theme layout.

I colored the frame with a Glimmer Mist Spray, a really simple method to give the frame an altered look, the new paper dolls from my stuff were a wonderful addition

chipboard was highlighted with an marble (black + copper) embossing powder 

some emphera pieces from our Main Kit were very suitable for this 'Travel' theme

I'm always in love with this amazing flowers from 49 and Market, also contain in the Main Kit

Thanks for your visit!

Scraps of Darkness - Let's get lost

Hello!

A new inspiration for our  

Scraps of Darkness July Wayfarer Kit

Friday is a nice day, because weekend is comming. Enjoy nature, stroll along the water, walk through the forest with our dog, that's relaxation pure for me.

The new background paper from Blue Fern Studios from the Main Kit was the perfect frame for my nature photo.

I worked with a spiderweb stencil,some fern leaves chipboards, emphera pieces from Prima Marketing, the new layered die-cut ebellishments from 49 and Market, all elements are very suitable for a forest layout with nature feeling.

 The photo is always my real focal point, but I love to try out and 

why have photos have to be square? so I decided to cut out the children.

 Yacht Stencil with white modeling paste, when it was dry I applied some Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels, this water based colours are transparent with a very fine glimmer shine.

and my second layout - At Sunset

I'm a big fan of old sailor ships. The 'Hanse Sail' shall take place once at year on the Baltic Sea. You can see there very impressive windjammers, traditional ships and museum ships. IT's really a highlight for me and my vintage soul.

Hello!

I'm a modern girl with a big vintage heart and as I saw this wonderful old photo from a sheltie 

I thought this must be a new 'altered' layout.

In our month July Kit 'Elements Add on 

you can find again this amazing layered die cut embellishments from 49 and Market, 

dragonflies and leaves the right elements for very natural theme like 

adventures in forest and meadows.

The flowers from 49 and Market are always a highlight,

 they look very lively and natural for me.

 

I also used some oldbook page leftovers, torned paper stripes, emphera and stickers pieces from Prima Marketing

and two printed chipboards from our July 'Wayfarer' Main Kit.

 I love it to use die cuts to add dimension, here I tried the burlap fabric (from Main Kit) 

with some 'Star' cutting dies, it works very good

I combine plastic and paper leaves 

and suitable to my vintage look I colored the layer embellishments 

with a little bit metal acrylic paint 

'Copper'

Thanks for your visit!

Happy crafting!
