Memories are Special

Good morning how are you all? I am very excited to share with you my first ever official video tutorial for Kasiercraft!!!! 

This month we have been sharing with you the stunning Glisten collection and the very elegant Ohh La La. The team have shared some stunning layout dont you think?  

When I get a new range I look for certain things to do with it , say a piece has some things to fussy cut I set that aside and do it while watching tv at night. Then I look for a piece that I can work some mixed media magic on to build up my background for layering, I go for the richer piece, ones which can handle some stamping, inking and texture pastes..... 

Kaisercraft Products: Ohh La La Collection: P2182 Oui Oui | SS323 Sticker Sheet | CT866 Collectables | CS274 Clear Stamps | PP1007 Paper Pad |TM802 Printed Tape |KM102 Kaisermist - Antique Gold | KM111 Kaisermist - White | IP724 Ink Pads- Bark | CS151 Texture Stamp - Tiny Dot|Other: Colour Blast Paste - Gold | Embossing Powder - Gold | Colorshine - Gold

                                Please watch the video to see how this layout was created:

To give your layout a little 3 D effect, double up your Collectables and Stamps, like with the butterfly..... stamp your butterfly on your background then with a little foam mount add your butterfly collectable over the top of it.

Dont be afraid to keep adding to the background with your Kaisercraft Texture Stamps if you keep them off the acrylic block it gives the image a more random effect.

Scrap the Girls August Reveal

Good morning I am here with Scrap the Girls August challenge reveal, and its a moodboard this month. One of the things I love about moodboard you get to pick what inspires you you dont have to use everything on the board, its about what speaks to you. Do you struggle with moodboards? If so leave a comment and tell me what you struggle with... and I would love to give you some hints and tricks to help you.

My inspiration is fairly self explanatory I firstly always look at the colours.... and look at the colour that features as the majority then I add the complementing colours to add a contrast. Then I look at the images for this instant it was all about the leaves, thats why they are in my background. Next I look to see if I can add other things that feature this time I choose to add some rhinestones like the chandelier crystals. And if I can I will add the title but in this instant I felt it wasnt going to work with the photo. That is how I break down a moodboard......
