Daddy's little girl

Good morning, how are you all? this month its very exciting as we all get to share with you a tutorial on one of our Rainbow Splendour layouts. How good was Amanda's video? I feel inspired to have a go at a name canvas and I might even let my older children have a go at it also. 

Today I thought I would share with you a little layout, sharing a important moment with my daughter with her first ever doll house and there's nothing like daddy keeping a careful eye over the play. 

Love the hot pink Rainbow Splendour Polaroid Frames all I have done to extend it was cut it in half and tuck it under the photo to help add to my layers.

To revamp your Rainbow Splendour Bows just pull down the ends of the bow to make it a perfect girly embellishment.

For another finishing touch why not add the New Rainbow Splendour Pretty Pins to your layout with some Rainbow Splendour Butterflies.

I hope this has inspired you and till next time, have a creative day...... Dont forget to stay tuned to see what my tutorial will be.

Feather bundle

LAST post from me this month!

Got inspired this week... and this page resulted.

I started with Rainbow Splendour Polaroids and feathers in white/black and grey.... When I needed to add ONE more colour - yellow was an easy pick! Even a black and white Chevron Pretty Pin made it there!

My favourite tip for you all on this page, is how to make the feather bundle. So EASY to do:
1. Layer 3 feathers of different sizes and colours, and arrange nicely.
2. I put a piece of wire at the back to create a stronger stem.
3. Wind some twine around the base of the feathers and wire.
4. Tie off the end with a bow.

Thanks for looking at my pages here at RAINBOW SPLENDOUR this month. Can't wait to see what other tips and tutorials the other DT girls bring us!

Rainbow Petals + Card-making ....

Hi again,

This month, Chloe sent me some Rainbow Petals.
And I set myself a challenge: one hour to make 4 cards. (gotta work efficiently around here!)
I'm not a confident card-maker, but with some great embellishments, some stamps and ink, and a few easy finishes, I was easily able to make these cards in the time I had.

           

So there you go - 4 cards in one hour!
Once I decided what direction the Rainbow Petal should face on the card, I was able to design the card and layer embellishments around it. I was super happy at how different all the cards ended up looking!

Tips for these cards:
* Layer green paper leaf and paper rose on your Rainbow Petal.
* Ink the edges of the card, and using the same ink colour for some light stamping on the background.
* Use word stickers for easy labels on your cards.
* Rule lines and crack out your water paints for the quick and easy sun burst effect!
* Strips of Washi Tape are always a winner for quick cards!

Have fun and happy creating this month!

Did you get some of the Pretty Pins?

In the last sale, Chloe made us some gorgeous Pretty Pins. Lots of colours and designs to choose from. I was pleased she saved some for me.  :)




I had lots of fun creating this layout..... And of course the Pretty Pin was a perfect addition to my embellishment cluster!

I used the awesome Sketch over at Scrapbook Savvy. You should I've it a go!

Now if you are interested in HOW i created the background of the layout....

Here's what i used:

Texture paste, mask, gesso, watercolour paints.

Steps:
1. On my white cardstock I used texture paste through a triangle mask.
2. Then I did a layer of Gesso on all of the card stock.
3. Then I used my old watercolour paints, and painted the rainbow background. I used plenty of water, so the colours have a water-washed effect.
4. I cropped the cardstock and stuck down to another sheet of paper - this stopped the warped paper effect.
5. Then finished the layout!
Sometimes taking a bit more time to create your own unique background can be very rewarding!

Thanks for looking today!
