Time Goes By ****Scrap Fx****

Design team work for Scrap Fx. This month we will be working with chippy's that go along with country & farm Theme's.The photo is of my oldest son Sigurdur with Afi at the farm.I used Bo Bunny Weekend Market collection & Bo Bunny Ec Cetera on this LO.I was inspired by Tracey (AKA) Garden of Grace, with her hemp flowers ,you can find her amazing tut for flowers on her blog.

I used the Scrap Fx wordlet, Time Goes By (20102950),Tractor (2012085),wood grain twigs (2012080) & chicken wire (2011186)

I didn't do a lot with the chippy's as I wanted them to just look rustic, so all I used was rust alcohol ink,bronze perfect pearls mist,StazOn Metallic inker, copper & then I inked the edges with black









We will also be working with wordlets,& wordlet theme packs this month,I just love them,what awesome way to completed your LO & there is so many to choose from!!!

I did not do a lot to the chippy's because I wanted to keep them rustic,I used rust alcohol ink,bronze perfect pearls & StazOn Metallic ink on the wordlet  & barbed wire frame,I used the same products on the fence,but for the post I also used rock candy crackle,& for the wire part of the fence I only used StazOn Metallic.I did the  same to the weather vane as I did to the fence post,but also used liquid pearls on the rosters head.

Harvest Time *****Scrap Fx****

Design Team work for Scrap Fx using there amazing chippies.I took the photo of my 3 boys.I used Bo Bunny Et Cetera Collection & Bo Bunny double dot. I love this collection.The Scrap Fx chippies I used on this LO are wordlet,Harvest Time(2012093) rope rings (2012090),wheat stalks (2012082),scare crow (2011228),& seagulls (2010246).I was inspired by Tracy AKA (Garden of Grace 0With her awesome hemp flower.You can find her tut on her blog.


This shows a close up of the scare crow & the wheat stalks,for the wheat stalks I applied walnut stain,& on the heads I also applied glossy accents,& sprinkled on micro beads when the accents was still wet.For the scare crow I used midnight blue glimmer mist for the body,the patches & hat are black alcohol ink,& the face & hands are copper staz on.


This photo shows a close up of the rope ring & the seagulls,I first stained the ring with vintage photo,then iI applied glossy accents to give dimension.Once dry I applied black alcohol ink over the accents. For the seagulls I first applied molding paste & with a paper pierce made lines in the wings.Once dry I applied midnight blue glimmer mist & copper accents.

This is a close up of the wordlet harvest time I used for this LO.For the font I used black ink & slate glimmer mist,The wheat is the same as the wheat stalks.This month we will be featuring farm & country LO's as well as wordlets.Thank you for having a peek & for your wonderful comments....Rachelle

Love of my Life ***Scrap Fx***

Design team work using the amazing Scrap Fx Chipboard.The wedding photo is of my sister Audrey & her hubby Chris.I used Pion Design paper & prima flowers on this LO.The Scrap Fx pieces I used on this LO are the wordlet( Love of my life),(fourish S ornate) (2011005)  & the decorative frame classic.I cut both the decorative frame & the ornate flourish in half.I first primed all of the chippy's with gesso,let dry, then applied walnut stain dabber & with a paper towel removed the excess.When that was dry,I applied platinum liguid pearls on a stamp that was very fine print,& stamped it onto the chippy's.I still was not happy with the color so I applied more walnut stain & wiped of the excess,them used the same stamp & applied perfect pearls,perfect pearl.Thank you so much for having a peek.Rachelle
