Another Oriental Scrapbook Page - 8 x 8

Just a simple matting and layering layout. Another page for my black 8 x 8 book.

Another page added to my black book.

I was just playing around with layering some different papers.  I now wish I had mounted the main image on a dark colour background, but too late now!

Another Book Page Play

I made a few more embellishments as I'd not done anything previously in green. I also played around with some layouts.

And another layout using my new to me spellbinder border dies.

And another one with a few alterations.

Then when I went to stick it in my black book, I realised that I'd made it the wrong way round. Sums up the day I had really!

I just went for it this time and glued it straight in.

I wanted to create another page for my 8 x 8 black book, but I'm waiting on a die cut topper which I bought from Ebay, to arrive.  So the image on the right is going to be replaced when it arrives.

And then I decided to glue it in the book.

Another Elephant Page

This page is approx 7" x 7.5". I've made one similar but it was too big and I didn't have the heart to cut it down so I made another to fit what I wanted it for.  

I got this 8" x 8" black scrapbook from The Works recently.

As you can see, the inside pages are black too.

Stuck the page into the book leaving a slight black borded.

8 x 8 Page

I've been waiting a while for this stencil to come and the glue is fabulous.

There are two stencils in the pack, which is great as it allows one to be laid over the other to add the detail.  So this is stencil one, the blackout.

This is with the detail added from stencil two. I chose gold acrylic paint.

I fussy cut the elephant out and using my new paper pads from the Range I created a colourful background.  The glue is amazing as it doesn't wrinkle any of the papers no matter their weight.

8 x 8 Books

I made these books for my friend for her to put in some photos of the kids.  I used a cover it all cover from zutter.  I painted it cranberry, raspberry blue and black.  I gave it 3 coats of glossy mod podge.  The letters are grunge boards from the alphabet set.

Some of the inside pages with the paper stacks I got last weekend from the Range.

And this one is for her daughter who likes purple, green and pink.  Again painted and 3 coats of mod podge.  I used a piece of ribbon across this one to hide the colour join.

More of the inside pages.

Thanks to Bren for this fantastic idea of using file folders and 8 x 8 paper stacks.  

Clock Canvas

This was an 8" x 8" canvas that I picked up last week at the Lincoln show.  I coloured the background with various shades of green distressed stains.  I used my SG paints too.  I stamped in timber brown using my new Hampton Art alphabet letter background stamp and I stamped tim's circles in mulch brown eco-friendly paint.  I also used cactus green stazon on the scratches stamp.  I used rust lumiere paint to colour the wings, the clock face and the charm.  Behind the clock I put a piece of vellum, previously scrunched and used a brad to attach the hands.  The wings were run through an embossing folder and coloured with lumiere metallics rust and olive green.  

Simon Say's are asking for wings this week.
