Venice - Couture Creations

Hi there everyone, sharing my layout that I have created using the latest Couture Creations products. These dies and embossing folders are all now available at your local scrapbooking store also
using the new release Couture Creations. 

Lace Pockets Die Cuts

I also created a very quick card too, but first my layout.

"Life Moments" layout

The photo was taken in Venice, riding inside a gondola, travelling down the water canals. I don't know if you can see but inside the gondola was an etching of a picture of the landscape of Venice. So beautiful and will always be a great memory for me.

Using the dies
Everyday Essentials - Autumn Leaf C0723112
for all the leaves under the bulk white flowers, and

Lace Pockets die - The Blandford C0724236 for the frame around the edges of the photo, which I cut in half.

Also using the purple colour papers from the
Heart's Ease papers

All the lovely flowers are from the Couture Creations 
Bulk white flowers collection.

The background was achieved by using embossing ink on the embossing folder, just like a stamp.
Then gently sprinkling gold embossing powder of the embossed images and applying the heat gun to melt the powder.

I love the gold against the black effect.

The embossing folder is from

Ulitmate Craft Mistletoe Magic  Embossing folder - White Christmas ULT157306

in the corner edges of the photo is the cut framed from the die
Lace Pockets die - The Blandford C0724236 

Adding some of the bulk flowers from Couture Creations

and using the C0724234 -The Hanslope Die cut.  

I cut the little flowers from this die set for an extra touch of small flowers.

On the leaves there is a touch of gold paint for more added sparkle.

Next is a simple and quick card , a very rustic and simple layered card - using the same embossing folder for the background, Ulitmate Craft Mistletoe Magic  Embossing folder - White Christmas ULT, which I gently inked the raised images, with an ink pad.

Using also the The Dorsetshire Die cut for the centre edges and
the centre white frame is from the
Lace Pockets die - The Chantilly

Another gorgeous bulk flower in the centre.
Slightly coloured with some purple inks

Now there are so many wonderful projects in the latest 

Creative Inspiration Magazine #11 from Couture Creations

Here is the link HERE

also you can grab your free copy from your local scrapbooking store. 

Until next time, Thanks for looking, Cheers Adriana XXX   :)

Firstly, I stamped the brown card stock - background with stamps and black ink pad.

Then I embossed 3 pieces of Coredination card stock with Ulitmate White Christmas embossing folder, sanding the embossed images
with Couture Creations Sanding Block  then cut them up
to arrange them on the page, as below.

Next I sprayed the Couture Creations Bulk white flowers
with orange and yellow spray inks, and sprinkled some black paint in the centre of them, drying them with a heat gun.

Arrange the flowers on the layout, and adding cut and inked Everyday Essentials - Autumn Leaf C0723112

Follow your Dreams

Hi everyone today I have something a little bit different from the normal

scrapbooking and cards that I create here and show on my blog.

I recently joined in an online class course

with one of my favourite media artists. I have been following her

work on her blog and have read all her books.

I just love her work so much, I have a few little pieces of her

wooden work and some christmas decorations.

Her name is well known, "Kelly Rae Roberts"

She is amazing and talented and I admire her work.

Here is her blog and details of her work  HERE

It goes for 6 months but you do it in your own time

and you have access to the classes for one year.

At the end of the 6 months you will have created 6 canvases.

I am so enjoying this online art classs and having a bit of fun a long the way,

while exploring other different mediums such as with paint with papers.

Now, unfortunately I can't show you the technique or materials in how I created this but you can show you the finished canvas, Part 1….. each month a different canvas will be created with a different theme.

Drawing eyes on faces can be very tricky and this is the first time ever I have painted a face with eyes, I usually do closed eyes with long eyelashes, so it's a bit new to me, I guess a little more practice of drawing eyes will be needed.

Anyway, I had lots of fun creating her.

What do you think??

Follow your Dreams, Trust your Heart

Here also a page from my art journal

Lately I am having fun with this type of art expression as well.

Thanks so much for looking and hope you have a creative week :)

Big hugs
