We Are Family | Tamara Buckler

Hello Flutterby Friends,

I'm back today with my last share for the year! But never fear, I'll be back in the New Year with some new team mates to play with!

Today I'm sharing a layout featuring the 'We Are' collection. I was lucky enough to get my hands on all the 12x12 papers and I have used the 'The Story of Us' for the background paper on this layout.

I wanted to create a central design for this layout. To begin I added some Lindy's Starburst Spray and Magicals to the centre of the background to match the beautiful soft blue in the 'We Are' collection. The Flutterby 12x12 paper is super thick and strong, so the wet media went on without any gesso and the paper is still in great shape!

I then began to layer up Everyday Etc Cards and Frames behind by photo, as well as cardboard, cardstock, tissue paper, and thread,  because I wanted a heap of dimension. I have even included a piece of a Fussy Cut Frame that I used in a previous layout.  I love how the timber look frame really pops of the blue background.

I added in a timber look flair button to draw out this frame, as well as some tiny kraft sticky quotes to accentuate this contrast.

I added some pops of black with the title, an XO Charms Creations and a XOXO page tab. I also added some black splatters.

I love how this page and how much dimension and impact it has. I'm sure I've said it before, but I am really enjoying the new colours in this range, so fresh and fun!

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you are getting ready for a happy and relaxing Christmas and New Year break. I look forward to sharing with you again in 2019!

Big Loves,

Tam xo

Hi everyone

Today I'm bringing some relaxing vibes for your Sunday morning.

I created my background by firstly applying some gloss gel medium though a 

Cool As A Cucumber stencil to create a resist, 

to which I then sprayed over some Prima Color Bloom spray ink.

I then used some Orange Goldfish Flutter Colour Paint through the same stencil 

onto some white cardstock, and fussy cut 

individual words to create some title words.

I created some layers under my photo by using 

some Everyday Etc cards 

from a mix of collections.

I created a cluster using some Good Vibes Only Sticky Quotes, 

flair buttons ( set No. 179 and set No. 143), 

a Tiny Kraft Sticky Quote sticker and a page tab. 

 

I added various page tabs, as well as some enamel dots.

I hope my layout has brought some calm and relaxation to your day.

I really wish I was back in the Whitsundays!!

Thanks for looking

Sea Sun Sand | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone

Is anyone else like me and finding themselves in the depths of winter 

but pining for Summer and some beach time?? 

Or are you lucky enough to have some sun where you are?

Well today I have a beachy layout to share, as a reminder of those Summer vibes.

I created my background by scraping some 'Tropicana Teal' Flutter Colour Paint 

onto some Kraft cardstock.

Once the first layer was dry I added some 'Sunshine Yellow' Flutter Colour Paint 

through a Migraine Madness stencil. 

Once the paint was dry I then traced through the stencil with a fine-tipped pen. 

I layered some Good Vibes Only Everyday Etc filler cards under my photo. 

I also used an 'I Need Vitamin Sea' quote from an Everyday Etc card. 

I added some stickers from the Good Vibes Only Sticky Quotes. 

I also added the Sea|Sun|Sand die cut piece from the Good Vibes Only Die Cut Bits & Bobs pack for my title.  

I fussy cut the sunnies and palm tree from some Everyday Etc cards, 

and added a Flair button over a Charm's Creations arrow.

I added some tiny Kraft sticky quotes, as well as a page tab.  

I also added some different enamel dots, from the Neon and Bold packs.

Thanks for looking
