You Rock | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone!

Rachel back with you, and I have a stash-busting layout to share with you today.

I have used bits and pieces from a few different collections, 

but the beauty of Anita's design style means all the collections work so well together.

To create my background I applied some Flutter Colour paint in 

Orange Goldfish onto white cardstock with a dry brush.

I then applied some Colour Blast Colour Paste through a Mmm Pie stencil.

I layered some Everyday Etc cards under my photos.

I have used cards from the 'Good Vibes Only', 

'We Are' and 'Magical AF' collections.

I have used the 'You Rock' pieces from the Magical AF Die Cut Bits & Bobs pack as my title.

I have added some page tabs, sticky snippets, a flair, enamel dots 

and some Die Cut Bits and Bobs to embellish my page.

I also added a heart from Charm's Creations.

I finished off my page with some black ink splatters.

Thanks for looking

Hi everyone!

Rachel back with you today with another layout to share.

To create the mixed media background for my page I started by adding 

some strips of the "Waves Of Wonder" 12x12 paper 

to some white cardstock with some gel medium.

I used a black pen to add detail to the circular lines of the paper.

I then added some flicks of Colour Blast Colour Artist Ink, 

and sponged on some Flutter Colour Paint in Orange Goldfish.

The next step was to add some stamping of dark blue acrylic paint 

with a "Round Random" Art Foamie stamp.

With the background done, I painted some 'days of the week' wood veneers with black gesso.

I then added some "We Are" Everyday Etc filler cards under my photo.

I fussy cut the house and the word 'home' from some "We Are" Everyday Etc cards. 

I cut the 'this is' from a "Happily Ever After" Everyday Etc card.

I've also added an arrow from Charm's Creations, a page tab and a Snippet Strip.

Good Vibes Only | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone!

Rachel back with you today with another layout 

using a mix of Flutterby collections.

 

I created my background using some Flutter Colour Paint in Orange Goldfish, 

applied with a dry brush. I then added some coloured modelling paste 

through a Mmm Pie stencil. In typical me fashion though, 

I ended up covering up most of my background with all of the fab layers 

under my photo ( you can just see a bit of the stencil 

poking out of the bottom of the layers!)

I used various Everyday Etc filler cards under my photo from the 

'Good Vibes Only' and 'We Are' collections.

For my title I used a sticker from the Good Vibes Only Sticky Quotes, 

matted with orange cardstock. I then added a layer of cardboard to bring it up off the page.

I also scattered some 'We Are' Sticky Quotes , some BRIGHT Snippet Strips, 

as well as some enamel dots around my page.

 

I added some Little Birdie flowers, a heart from Charm's Creations, a page tab, a ticket, flair button 

and the cassette from the 'Good Vibes Only' Die Cut Bits and Bobs pack in my embellie clusters.

Keep your eyes peeled in a couple of days for
 the release of the newest collection 'Magical AF'!

Thanks for looking

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.
