Dudettes ll Chrissi Mannix

Hello Lovelies,

Chrissi here today with another layout using the Rad Retro Collection.

I decided to use a photo from a retreat back in November. I worked on my background alot for this layout. To he point where I think I over did it. In the end, I used a brayer and some paint to tone down/cover what I had done. This made it much more usable to me lol.

I used my Flutter Colour Paint, My favorite Art Foamies, the new Spot On Stencil, a fan brush and of course my brayer to put together my background.

Using the Bits and Bobs, and Flutterby Neon Enamel Dots I embellished my photo, that I had layered with Every Day Etc Filler cards, and made my title. 

Well that's it for my last post for 2019. I'll be back in the new year though, with a Project Life Layout featuring the most perfect photos for this fabulous collection.

80s Party | Allara Bamforth

Merry Xmas Eve!!!

I hope you are all ready for the big man tomorrow and you enjoy your time with family and friends or what ever you choose to do over the holiday period. I have 9 days off work, so I am hoping to relax at least a little bit.

Once again the 80s are back and I have a fun 80s photo, this time with a cardboard cut out of the man himself at the 80s themed party on the cruise.

On my background from the 'Rad Retro' Collection I've used the Rad Retro Stencil with some clear gel medium. Once this is dry I've taken my distress oxide inks and water coloured over the top with a rainbow of colours.

From the Everyday Etc Filler Cards and the 12 x 12 paper 'Neon Lights' I've matted my photo with a half circular shape. From Everyday Etc Cards, I've added a few of the quotes and some Page tabs tucked in behind them. A Die Cut Bits and Bobs is also tucked into this stack and I've added a Flair Button to the corner of my matted photo. On the background I've let some black dylusion ink run over the a few areas and stamped the 'This Way' Art Foamies with some Oxide ink over the black inked areas.

And on top of this some of the photo tab quotes!

I'd like take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Xmas and Happy New Year. I'm excited to see what the new year brings.

Back To The 80s | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone!

Today I have another layout to share using the 'Rad Retro' collection.

It was perfect timing that my son's end-of-year school concert 

had an 80s theme this year. 

I can still hear the music to "I'm Still Standing" in these photos!!

I used the 'Warm Hug' paper from the Parent Of The Year 12x12 paper pack as my base.

I then added some of the 'Expo 88' paper from the Rad Retro 12x12 paper pack.

I fussy cut the 'Back to the 80s' from an Everyday Etc card to use as my title.

I added a layer of cardboard to bring the words up out of the dotty layer.

 

I also fussy cut the 'Totally Awesome 80s' record 

and again backed it with some cardboard to add some dimension.

I added a couple of flair buttons, some snippet strips, as well as some Die Cut Bits & Bobs.

Thanks for looking

Just Wanna Have Fun ll Chrissi Mannix

Hello Lovelies,

Chrissi back today with another layout with the new Rad Retro Collection.

I enjoyed playing around to create my background. I used some Flutter Colour Paint, the New Spot On stencil, and my fave Art Foamies to build up my background.

I matted my photo using the Every Day Etc Cards. I went for contrasting colours, after using all that pink in the background.

Before adding my photo, I wanted my background to pop more- I felt it was all blending together. So I added another contrasting colour of Flutter Colour Paint. I really like what this added to the layout.

For my title, this time I used pieces from the die cut Bits and Bobs set, and I couldn't help adding those awesome lips.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing what I have been creating with the Rad Retro Collection- come back soon to see what else we create.

Livin on a Prayer | Allara Bamforth

Happy Sunday!

I'm excited to be on the blog this morning with the new 'Rad Retro' collection. As soon as I saw this collection I knew I would have to scrap a fabulous photo of my favourite 80s rocker - Jon Bon Jovi, who is still going strong and who I was lucky enough to meet in August! OMG!!

I've started off with black cardstock for this layout and cut into sections one of the 12 x 12 papers 'Pretty in Pink'. Once I stuck down my papers, I've splattered across the background some of the Flutter Colour Paint from the Bright's Set and stamped the Fill It In Art Foamies in Oxide Ink randomly as well.

The photo was then matted in the Rad Retro Filler Cards and I've added various cut outs from the Everday Etc Cards, including the 'Awesome' title under the photo. The fabulous cassette that has 'Livin on a Prayer' conveniently on it was cut from one of the 12 x 12 Paper 'What's Going On'!!. A Rad Retro Flair Button has been added to the bottom right of the photo and a Photo Tab to the top right.

This collection is so fun and colourful. I have so many great pics to go with it and I can't wait to share some more in my next post.

Till then,

RAD | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone!

Today I have a layout to share using the 

brand new Rad Retro collection.

I started with a piece of 'Wicked' paper from the Rad Retro 12x12 paper pack. 

I added some white gesso then applied some Flutter Colour paints from the Blues Set.

I added some Everyday Etc cards under my photo, 

adding cardboard under each layer to add dimension.

I picked out the RAD word from the Die Cut Bits & Bobs pack for my title, 

and added it to my layers with some cardboard.

I also added the boom box and speakers.

I also added a flair, and 3 stars from Charm's Creations.

Thanks for looking
