Family Together | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone! Rachel back with you today with another layout to share.

I'm using the We Are collection to create my bright and fun page.

I created a background using some Flutter Colour Paint 

in Tropicana Teal and Arctic White.

I added some bright We Are Everyday Etc filler cards under my photos. 

I added some foam between a few of the layers to add some 

dimension and lift the bright colours up off the black background.

I fussy cut the word 'family' from a We Are Everyday Etc card. 

I added some cardboard under my title word to create another layer.

I added some stickers, page tabs, a flair button, and some bright enamel dots.

I added some embellishments from Charm's Creations
and some white thread.

Thanks for looking

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.

Make Your Life Magical | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone!

Rachel back with you today with my first page 

using the brand new 'Magical AF' collection.

 As soon as I opened the new kit, I was immediately drawn to the 
Secret Garden 12x12 paper, 

and knew I wanted to fussy cut all the flowers. 

It took a while, but I'm so happy with the result!

I chose to use black cardstock as my base, so the bright colours of the flowers 

could really jump off the page.

To create my background I added some Flutter Colour Paint in 

Tropicana Teal with a dry brush, 

then added some splatters straight from the bottle. 

I then added some Colour Blast 'Royalty' Colour Paste through a Halftone stencil.

I added some stickers from the Sticky Quotes sheet, as well as a unicorn 

from the Die Cut Bits and Bobs pack and some puffy heart stickers.

I didn't need to add too many embellishments, as the bright fussy-cut flowers 

make a grand statement all on their own.

I fussy cut the word 'magical' from an Everyday Etc card, then matted it 

onto white cardstock, and again fussy cut and inked the edges.

I also added an Everyday Etc card under my photo.

I raised my title word up on some cardboard for more dimension.

 I added layers of cardboard under my flowers too, 

to add more dimension to the flower clusters.

We Are Family | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone!

Rachel back with you today, with my first layout using the 
amazeballs new "We Are" collection.

I started my layout by dry-brushing some Tropicana Teal  
Flutter Colour Paint onto some white cardstock.

 I layered some Everyday Etc filler cards under my photo.

 I also added some hessian that I had on my desk.

I added the 'We Are Family' acrylic piece, and added a 

trimmed Everyday Etc filler card underneath.

I fussy cut 3 hearts from some Everyday Etc cards for some added embellishments.

I also added a flair, page tab and a house and page tab from the Die Cut Bits & Bobs pack.

Head over to the store to check out this awesome new collection, but be quick!!

Art Is | Rachel Dutko

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.
