CREPE PAPER TECHNIQUE

Hello girls,

It is time again for me to share another technique with you and hope that you will try this one in your layouts.  The effect you will get will be stunning and amazing.
Firstly for my layout I started with kraft card and white crepe paper.  You can use white card or any other colour, it will just depend on the effect that you want to achieve.

Tear the crepe paper into uneven strips and glue to your cardstock.  When dry you can then spray with paint or glimmer mists.

Now you are free to play around with pastes and templates to build your background.

For mine, I added different colours of Liquid Pearls to Impesto paste and proceeded to use my hexagon template.  As I swiped each colour of Impesto with a moist towelette and this was the result so decided when it was dry to add to my LO.

I then used C'ordinations cardstock  I love using this cardstock as it is fantastic to show the core colour when  distressed  and placed over the background.

Then I placed the towelette over this then photo and other embellishments as suited.  Here is the end result.

So I hope that you will try this technique and experience the fun of it all.  So until next time...happy scrapping and thanks for taking the time to look :)  Love Liz

and next we have our .....Layout Sketch 95..

 Do you like this sketch?  I do hope so, & can have a little play with papers & embellies & join in!!

For our LO sketch you do not have to use anything but our sketch & your imagination!

And a fine welcome to you once again......

We are generously sponsored in July by

Aurora Wings

Fantasy artist and digital stamp designer Mitzi Sato-Wiuff started offering digital stamps in Aurora Wings shop on Etsy in May of 2013.  It has experienced a phenomenal growth, thanks to your  wonderful response to the unique style of art that ranges widely in terms of subject matter, style, and complexity from simple beginners' images to highly detailed, advanced colorists' images -- different from a lot of digital stamps that are available in the paper crafting industry.  

Mitzi Sato-Wiuff

Mitzi (Her last name is pronounced sah-toe-view.  It's Japanese and Danish.) is a Colorado based artist, who is originally from Japan.  Her artwork shows a clear and distinct influence of vintage shojo manga (少女漫画), tattoo art, woodblock prints, and kimono textile art of her native country.  Mitzi has been drawing since early childhood, playing with crayons, watercolor, colored pencil, pastel, acrylics, and more recently, digital.   

In 2010, she became a part of an artists collective, "Enchanted Visions Project", originally founded by famous fantasy artists Amy Brown and Jessica Galbreth.  EV provided a wonderful opportunity to produce artwork on a regular basis and helped her portfolio grow steadily.  Mitzi served for 2 years as an assistant administrator of the project, all the while staying an active contributing member.  In 2011, her long-time dream of publishing a coloring book became reality with the publication of "Gardens & Goddesses" from Ellen Million Graphics.

The Aurora Wings Etsy shop and the Challenge Blog are the newest art ventures as she continues to grow, experiment, learn, and play with an open mind and child-like curiosity.

So now to the good news...

The Design Team have been lucky enough to have 2 wonderful women joining our team.

Introducing.................

LEANNE MCDONALD

 

 

Hi...I'm Leanne and I am extremely lucky to live in one of the most beautiful places in Australia. I am married with two teenage children and work in administration for a 

vocational education and training provider. 

I discovered scrapbooking in 2007 and quickly became addicted! I began card making soon after as a way to use some of the papers and embellishments that were filling up my creative space! I have served on design teams for my favourite online store ScrapBoutique, and Girls Only challenge site Scrap the Girls. I am so fortunate to have been published in Australian Scrapbooking Memories and Cardmaking, Stamping and Papercrafts magazines.

I am super excited to be joining the Feeling Sketchy team and look forward to sharing my designs with you!

MARY STEINMETZ

Hi my name is Mary. I have been married for 26 years, I have 2 beautiful

daughters 20 & 23, & live in the Midwest States in USA, Wisconsin. 

My husband & I own a Motel & have done so for the last 20 years.

When I'm not busy with the motel  you can usually find me

in my scrap room. 

I have been creating cards when my girls were little, it was our special hobby

we did together, as they got older they lost interest but I kept on making. 

I started scrap booking in 2000. I wanted to keep those memories for my daughters

to pass on their families as get older. 

I'm very excited to be part of the Feeling Sketchy team. Thank You Debi,

I'm so honored to you and your team.

Aren't we lucky to have 2 fabulous gals join our team!!

Cheers, Debi
