Look at this amazing giveaway for the lucky winner, I see a lot of my Favs in there, I even used the wrought iron window on this LO!!!



Here is my LO I did for the hop & I did some stencil work......





The Scrap Fx Chipboard used on this LO is Wrought Iron Window (2013086),Flourish T Spray (2011075),History Theme Pack "Classic"(2011076) & Garden in Paradise Stencil (2013028). The paper used on this LO is Maja Design Walking in the Forest Collection Flannel Shirt bs. Here are some closeups of detail......
I used Golden Gel Medium Molding Paste for the stencil. When that dried, I rubbed in some Bisque Liquid Pearls with my finger.Then I applied LuminArte (almond beige) & my final step was watered down Tattered Angels Chalkboard Glimmer Mist (decadence) to shadow the stencil......
I stained the chipboard with distress walnut stain,ten with my finger rubbed in bisque liquid pearls,then painted on some LuminArte almond beige.......

  11. Rachelle, love your designs. Your work must be the way I like to design, as its like eye candy to me. Details are wonderful, I too am afraid of the computer work that goes along with designs, let me groan with you...........ugh.......lololo

  13. Rachelle your layout is stunning. It just screams class and elegance! What a gift you have I am in awe of your work! :)

  14. This page is so gorgeous! I love the micro beads on the hearts and you color palette is so elegant. That portrait is AMAZING! I think your stitch work and how you finish chipboard is always stunning- I would totally take a class if you taught it because I need help with both! As for the computer work LOL! That's how scrapbooking got so popular! Now one would see your fabulous pages without it! (That would be a huge loss to us if you ask me.) But I have to agree with you- I'd rather be outside adventuring and taking photos for future layouts than inside posting my pages on galleries or following up on blog comments. I love writing so I consider blogging part of the fun- the other stuff? Not so much. ;)

  18. Ok...I couldn't wait to get to your page along the hop to tell you one more time how much I love your work. I already commented on this layout at scrapbook.com but I can say more! It is so InCreDiBle how you achieved so much depth with the stencil work...it looks like an ancient stone relief...very ethereal and otherworldly! What a tremendous gift you have!!! I'm totally appreciating this!

  19. You have totally rocked the beige with this layout! Love the way you displayed your picture, just stunning.

  20. Oh Rachelle, this is such a stunning page!! I'm not sure when I don't feel that way looking at your work but this one is really so elegant. The color palette you've chosen and the photo - oh my! Breathtaking really. Your stitching is always one of my favorite details to look at. I love it and would love to do it on my pages more often - just don't have nearly enough patience for it. Hats off to you for real. All the details you put in to your pages really amaze me. I could soak them in for good long while. I hear you on the computer work aspect of scrappy stuff. It gets to me as well. I'm not all that computer savvy and it takes me quite a bit longer I would imagine than most to get it done. Certainly not my favorite part of the world scrap either but necessary. The only part I'm thankful for in it is the friendships I've gained, like yours. xo

  30. I hate the computer part of blogging too. I'm not a writer so I HATE it. As for you, girl...there is nothing that you don't do well?! You are truly talented. there are plenty of mixed media people out there that do awesome work that can cause your jaw to drop, but you miss Rach can create with paper in such a unique and heart stopping way that NO ONE can compete with. Now, as for the mixed media part of you creating? You are rocking it too!!! Is there nothing that you can't do?
