September Kit Reveal "Creamsicle" with Jan

8:00 AM | Posted by Unknown | | Edit Post

Hello, Swirly Scrappers!

I am excited to share Swirlydoos yummy September kit of the month with you. It is another beauty!

By now I hope you have seen the amazing monthly sketch but if not, here it is.

I decided to turn the sketch 90 degrees and then lift it. Remember you can turn a sketch once, twice, or three times and get a totally different look. I used one long photo rather than 3 smaller square pictures. This is me and my sister just last month getting ready to hike at Bennett Springs State Park.

I used the BoBunny stencils and some white embossing paste to add some texture to the background.

Here's a close up of the flower cluster with a butterfly.

Next, I played more with the BoBunny stencils, embossing paste, and the Artisan Powder in Rosewood. I embossed in white, allowed the paste to dry, and then brushed the powder on top while the stencil was still in place. That's the cool thing about the adhesive stencils. You could mix the powder in with the embossing paste but I was looking for a darker hue.

The flowers were handmade and embellished with the beads included in the main kit then brushed with the metallic watercolors included in the add on. I brushed the Art Stones from my stash with the metallic watercolors, too. Then the background was splattered with some of the same watercolor. The Nuvo Drops were added directly to the page. AWESOME stuff! Better than Perfect Pearls-no points. The Nuvo levels to a perfect pearl shape on your page. Don't be afraid to try it.

If you have not seen the Anatomy of a Layout yet then I will share that with you, too. It was a fun one to create using only the main kit, a stencil, embossing paste, and flower and butterfly punch from my stash. If you follow along, please share your interpretation!

Here's the video tutorial.

Now, here's one I created for the All that Flutters challenge.

Lots of layers with tags, banners, and paper tearing. I loved that wooden frame.

Did you get the watercolor add on?

Well, I was just itching to play with it so I had to play with the canvas next.

I started with a stencil and some embossing paste. Let that dry then sprayed the canvas with a bit of water so the water colors that I wanted to add would spread easily. Then, I just started to add the water colors from the metallic set by Prima. Dried that. Splattered some more watercolors, stamped some random Archival ink in black, added some gold foil rub ons from a past kit and then began adding the flowers atop the BoBunny chipboard door.

The yellow velvet butterflies are from a past Swirlydoos kit and the vellum was also from a past kit. I just used a butterfly punch then cut the vellum butterfly in half and attached each half to the velvet butterfly next to the beaded body.

I LOVE this canvas! It is very shiny IRL.

* September Kit 'Creamsicle' Reveal & SATURDAY TUTORIAL with Ginny*

2:09 AM | Posted by Ginny Jones | | Edit Post

Hello everyone, welcome to my Reveal of the 'Creamsical' Kit and my SATURDAY TUTORIAL featuring a canvas!

Its my turn today to reveal my Design team projects for the reveal of the September kit 'Creamsicle' From Swirlydoos Kit Club.

This kit features BoBunny paper collection Bella Rosa. These papers had a wide range of colours in them as you will see from my projects, enabling some really different layouts!

Here's the first layout, as always, for the Sketch Challenge. You too can enter this challenge too, on the forum. This runs until the 31st October 2016.

This is the beautiful sketch by Beggahuna.

Here is my take on the Sketch.

This layout is made entirely from the Main kit with just the addition of some texture paste and distress ink...........

................ and embossing powder on the chipboard filmstrip. I used the BFS embossing powder 'Mushroom' from last months kit.

Next up is the All That Flutters Challenge. This challenge is also open until the 31st October 2016.

This is what I came up with for this challenge.

The torn paper edges were inked with Frayed Burlap Distress ink.

The metal trinket was covered with the Vintaj Patina Turquoise and then had the Artisan Powder rubbed into it as did the BoBunny Chipboard pieces.

I used the Nuvo on my butterfly centres (Butterflies from last months kit) and added the seed beads with soft mat gel.

I covered the chippie in a white embossing powder and finished it off with some of the Memory Hardware Pearls.

Now for another layout featuring the 'oranges' in these papers and my gorgeous Labradoodle, Evie!

I used the die of the month 'Cascading Circles' on this layout.

The chipboard filmstrip was dabbed several times with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.

And some stamping with Distress Ink Black Soot.

The heart trinket was covered with the Vintaj Patina Sandstone.

This last layout goes with a completely different colour scheme. This Core'dinations paper was also in the main kit and I teamed it up with the Anna Griffin Die cut paper.
I have done a SNAPGUIDE TUTORIAL showing you how I created this really simple layout.

Here is the link to view - https://snapguide.com/guides/create-a-layout-with-swirlydoos-september-kit/

I inked around the edges with Prima Chalk ink pad Farmers Jeans.

I added a Kaisercraft Die Title and some Teal Petaloo flowers from a previous Swirlydoos kit.

Now for the Technique Kit!

*** SATURDAY TUTORIAL ***

I did get 'carried away' with my canvases this month. I ended up creating 3 canvases!

This is the canvas created with the technique kit and the Tim Holtz Distress Crayons - I LOVE these!!!

There is a SNAPGUIDE TUTORIAL available for you to watch to show you how I created this canvas.

Here is the link to view - https://snapguide.com/guides/create-a-canvas-with-swirlydoos-september-tech-kit/

I used the Memory Hardware Pearls and torn pieces of the glitter tape.

The feature butterfly card was created from the Tim Holtz Distress Crayon Watercolour Ink Kit.

This is the other canvas I created that is also featured in the SNAPGUIDE tutorial and used the stamps etc in the Distress Crayon Watercolour Ink kit.

And then I created this one too, to show you another version using a photo. You can see I enjoyed doing these ?!

Tutorial Saturday with Jan

8:00 AM | Posted by Unknown | | Edit Post

Hello, Swirly Savages! It's tutorial Saturday and I will be sharing some techniques I learned using the August technique add on. The VerDAY paints by Ten Second Studio are now my favorite! The iron is my favorite. What is yours?

So, I used the VerDAY paints on the BoBunny chippy butterflies, the tags included in the add-on, the Prima gold trim, some metal trim from a past kit and even the background paper on one layout. You get the idea? You can use this stuff on a variety of things.

Here is the layout featuring the tags in the add-on and the VerDAY on the background paper.
