13@rts final GDT post

Good Morning I am here today with my final post for 13@rts GDT, such a sad day but all good things must come to an end....

Do you remember in my last months post I say I would convert the cut out pattern paper into a layout? I am here to share with you the final result.

Remember this?

Just by adding water to the page and the Ayeeda Inks to a plastic bag you have an instant background...

Dont forget to custom your wood veneers to go with your layout.

Color Basic - 

Ayeeda Ink - Bordeaux

     Ayeeda Ink - Pink 

 Ayeeda Ink - Scarlet

Well I hope I have inspired you, thanks for the opportunity to share with you my 13 @rts experience .

Till next time, have a creative day.

13@rts + Grungy = Happy

Good Morning Rikki here for another guest design team post and something a little masculine for those with boys in our lives. Lets face it there's nothing better than getting a little grungy when doing boy layouts.

To start with I grabbed the 13@rts Color Basic Yellow Amber/ Yellow Sand pattern paper, and I wanted to add a contrast with an additional pattern and colour. So I used the 13@rts Color Basic Square Mask, by tracing and cutting the squares out I had my contrast with the 13@rts Color Basic Black pattern paper, (wait till next month to see what I create with this cut out).

To start the background I adhered the Black Squares to the page using the 13@rts Ayeeda Medium Acrylic Gel Medium  once they are stuck a quick swipe of the 13@rt Ayeeda Gesso all over and its onto the fun grungy stuff!!!

From here is all about building your colours up starting with the 13@rts Ayeeda Ink - Orange, then adding a little of the 13@rts Ayeeda Ink - Bordeaux to add a little depth and richness.

At this stage I felt it needed another contrast colour and I didnt want it to be black as its for my son, when he was 5 years old, I wanted it to be a ''lighter'' grungy, so this is where the 13@rts Ayeeda Ink - Brown came into the colour scheme. And the brown also featured in the stamping of the background.

Have you seen the  Tekturka Chipboard "Color Basic-Words" by Olga Heldwein in store? Arent the perfect, especially when you mist it with the 13@rts Ayeeda Mist - Chalk Brown. 

Now its all about adding the photo and some layers  and then you have your layout.

13@rts Color Basic Yellow Amber/ Yellow Sand 

13@rts Color Basic Square Mask

13@rts Ayeeda Ink - Bordeaux

 13@rts Ayeeda Mist - Chalk Brown

So I hope I have inspired you this month, and dont forget to tune in next month for my final post as Guest Designer :(  to see what I create with the cut out.

Till next time, have a creative day.

13@rts.....

Good Morning, an exciting day here today let me tell you, its my first official post for 13@rts as a guest designer!!!! 

Needless to say the wait was well worth it, I just love, love, love the products, and I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to share with you over the next couple of months..... 

I started with the 13@rts Cosy Evening- ''Family Afternoon'' Hot Chocolate edition pattern paper, I really wanted some thing neutral to be my base, it has a beautiful soft snowflake pattern.

The next step, I used the 13@rts Ayeeda Medium Modeling Paste with the 13@rts ''Colour Basic'' Square template and the 13@rts ''Cozy Evening'' - Winter time template for more snow flake details.

To create the background colour I used 3 different 13@rts Ayeeda inks, they are water based and they are can either give you a soft colour effect or something a little more intense depending on how much water and ink you use.

For the layers I used the 13@rts ''Frosty Days'' Hot Chocolate edition paper, and just distressed the edge, so I could layer it with the 13@rts ''Winter Frame'' which I decided to break up to create smaller clusters of snow flakes.

 I wanted to add more white  back over the colours of the background so I used the 13@rts Ayeeda Gesso- Acyrlic Primer, I just watered some down to allow me to flick it with the paint brush.
