Couture Creations Design Team Audition 2019

I was so excited to see the Design Team call for 2019-2020 as I absolutely love the  GoPress and Foil and the GoCut and Emboss. And of course all the fabulous dies! My favourite is obviously the Cut Foil and Emboss dies!

Unfortunately I haven't used any Couture Creations paper in my projects yet, mainly because I haven't had direct access to it until recently, but I do love the paper!

To choose my favourite projects was difficult but here they are:

A mixed media single page layout with lots of delicate die cutting:



A double page mixed media layout with lots of foiling elements:

And another favourite:




I do not have many yet but here is one of my YouTube videos:

A quick card for a Wedding

Hi there Creatives!

I want to share a quick card I made for a friend's wedding. The Amor Mio Paper collection from Little Birdie Crafts is perfect for wedding cards and layouts.  I used the Pale Gold Fairy Dust to add some glamour and splattered with my favourite: Golden Glaze Tinted Metallic Paint!


Here are a few close-ups of the card:

Perfect Together

Hi there Creatives!

The vibrant colors of the Aqua Medley Collection are one of my favorite Collections from Little Birdie Crafts! For this single page layout, I choose to use a white card-stock background with some mixed media elements. 



This is how I created the layout:

I adhered the white card-stock to one of the Aqua Medley patterned paper. I trimmed the card-stock 0,5" smaller. I painted the background first with Gesso and then added a little water color paint.



The Silver Sage Sparkle Paste is one of my favourite sparkle pastes, and so is the Script Stencil. I added the Sparkle Paste to add more layers to the background.


I toned the paper down with white Gesso to use as layering behind the photograph.



The flowers needed some sparkle too so I repeated the Silver Sage Sparkle paste on the stamens and toned the green leaves down with white Gesso.


The chipboard embelishment was painted with Terracotta Chalk Paint.



The different sized patterned paper layers was adhered with Gel Medium and I also used the heavy bodied Gel medium to adhere the Sisal behind the photograph. The photograph was raised on two layers of cardboard.


I created my own embellishments with glass domes and images from the patterned paper. I adhered the dome with gel Medium, let it dry and then cut it out with a small sharp scissor.


The small butterflies was fussy cut from the Aqua medley embellishment page and the rust ribbon is from my stash.
