We're All Mad Here | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone!

Today I have 2 different projects using the same design to share with you.

I recently received some of the awesome Flutterby Designs Art Foamie stamps, 

and I couldn't wait to try them out on my gel plate.

I have created the background of my layout with strips of my gel prints 

I created using the  

Round Randoms Art Foamie stamps. 

I then added some watered-down 'Sunshine Yellow' Flutter Colour paint, 

as well as some splatters 

of Tropicana Teal Flutter Colour Paint and ink splatters.

I then added some more stamping with the Round Randoms Art Foamie 

stamps and black paint, 

as well as some smaller stamping.

I've backed my photo with some "We Are' Everyday Etc filler cards.

I also stamped the Art Foamie stamps onto some paper, 

then fussy cut them to use as embellishments within my layers.

I've cut my title from a 'We Are' Everyday Etc card.

 I've also added a page tab and a heart from Charm's Creations.

I've also created an art journal page using the same design.

I've used exactly the same gel print strips, stamping, 

fussy cut stamped circles and paint splatters.

 I've used Flutter Colour paint in Tropicana Teal through an Arty Farty stencil.

Thanks for looking

My Girl Stitches | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone!

Rachel back with you today with another layout to share.

I created a mixed media background, 

firstly by swiping some 'Sunshine Yellow'  Flutter Colour Paint 

onto some black cardstock with an old gift card. 

Once that was dry I applied some Colour Blast Colour Paste 

though a Sugar Sprinkles stencil. I also added some paint splatters.

I layered some 'Magical AF' Everyday Etc filler cards under my photos.

I cut a phrase from a 'Magical AF' Everyday Etc card for my title, 

then added some journalling.

I added some page tabs, a flair button, a star die-cut, 

and a cluster of embellishments from 

Charm's Creations and D'Lish Scraps.

Thanks for looking

Hi everyone

Have you seen the brand new Arty Farty stencil? OMG I think its my favourite stencil ever!

Today I am sharing a few projects that I have created with this awesome stencil.

I have recently tried my hand at paint pouring. Let's face it, it looks like so much fun and
really messy - right up my alley!
I thought I would try paint pouring with my Flutter Colour paints!

First, I chose three colours - Tropicana Teal, Orange Goldfish and Sunshine Yellow. 
I mixed each colour of Flutter Colour paint with pouring medium in separate cups.

Then I poured each of the colours onto four 4"x4" canvasses.

I also added some dark navy and white colours just to add some contrast.

Then it was simply a matter of moving each canvas around until they were fully covered with the runny paint.

I left them for a couple of days to completely dry, then I stencilled some words from 
the Arty Farty stencil on with Colour Blast Colour Paste.

Once the Colour Paste was dry I traced through the 'ART' word with a journaling pen

as a shadow word to the focus words.

I had some mixed pouring paint left over so I mixed it all together and 
poured it onto another canvas.

I mixed some Orange Goldfish Flutter Colour paint with some modelling paste to stencil onto 
this canvas, this time using the whole Arty Farty stencil.

 Once the letters were dry I outlined them with a journaling pen for some definition.

I really love how these turned out.

I hope you can take some time to experiment
with some new techniques and use your supplies in new ways.
