GUEST DESIGNER!

JOSEFINE FOURAGE

Josefine, our guest designer, created a beautiful African canvas using our C91 Call from the Wild Collection.  See below how she created this gorgeous canvas.

Hi everyone. My name is Josefine (aka HolyLise) and I’m thrilled to be guest designing for FabScraps today! FabScraps is my favorite brand for chipboard die cuts and paper for mixed media projects. I can’t even begin to tell you how much this opportunity means to me :D

But before I get all sentimental, here is the canvas that I created using the new Call from the Wild Collection.

I started by cutting the front page from the chipboard album into shape and adhered strips of the call of the wild paper on top. After the gel medium dried, I traced the Africa shape with my craft knife to get rid of all the access paper.

Then I gessoed it, so the colors were a little more muted and added some animal shapes with the Wild Animals stencil.

The paper has some really pretty animal photography on it, so I decided to cut some of the shapes out and adhere them to the continent. Now I painted over it with several shades of green and blue acrylic paint as well as some gold shimmering ink. I ended up adding two layers of paint, plus another layer of gesso.

While I was waiting for everything to dry, I separated the two trees from their frame. Now I colored that frame and the word “Africa” in dark blue and added some gold sparkle on top. I wanted the bigger tree to stand out from the background, so I gessoed it first and sprayed two shades of green ink on it afterwards.

For the canvas, I used black paint and added white spritzer on top in the hopes that it looks like a night sky. I sure hope that I was successful with it.

At the end I adhered the Africa shape to the canvas. Then I glued the frame, tree and the word die cut on top of it and finished everything up with some flowers.

I hope you enjoyed my guest project for FabScraps. I sure had a lot of fun creating this canvas and it will have a special place in my craft room.

Chipboard die-cut BEST FRIENDS DC92 003

Stencil DS 063

Other: watercolour tag, texture paste, green and amber gouache paint, white acrylic ink, black pen, glue, mulberry flowers and leaves

Instructions:

STEP 1:

Your base the white watercolour tag. From a chosen paper from the Carder’s Pack, cut out a slightly smaller tag that you will glue onto the base tag. I traced the original tag on the paper and then cut it 2mm from the inside line. With black pen, outline the smaller tag; then distress its edges. Glus the tags together. This is your first layer.

STEP 2:

Using Stencil DS 03 and texture paste, add ‘leaves’ design on the background. Using green paint, create watercolour-like effect over the stencilled area. Add sprinkles of darker green around the tag; do the same with the white acrylic ink.

STEP 3:

Tear off pieces of papers from the Carder’s Pack to create a small cluster; outline some of the straight edges with black pen.

STEP 4:

Colour the Chipboard die-cut BEST FRIENDS to match your colour theme (I ‘watercoloured’ it with amber and green paint). Leave it to dry.

STEP 4:

Attach the paper cluster and chipboard to the tag; decorate with mulberry flowers.

Your tag is ready!

12x12 scrap page ‘Cuteness’

by EWELINA GRYGLAK

For this layout you will need:

Starlight paper C92 004

Chipboard die-cut CUTENESS DC92 006

Stencil DS 063 C92 range

Carder’s Pack MC92 001A

Other requirements:  clear matte gesso, texture paste, colour co-ordinating gouache paint (green and orange), white acrylic ink, various leaf design and ‘family’ stamps + black archival ink, circle paper punch, mulberry leaves, 3d foam tape, glue

Instructions:

PREPARATION:

Paint the Chipboard die-cut CUTENESS DC92 006 white using the acrylic ink; once dry, watercolour it green using gouache paint.

STEP 1:

Your base page is Starlight paper C92 004, the tree silhuettes side up. To make sure the wet mediums don’t soak through the page, prime it with a layer of clear matte gesso (that will make it waterproof but will not fade out the original paper design).

STEP 2:

Mix texture paste with micro-balls to add dimension. Run the mix through the Stencil DS 063 C92 range – the tree design only – place it closer to one side of the page.

STEP 3:

While the ‘stamp’ is drying, sprinkle the watered-down green and orange gouache paints onto the design so that it soaks the colour in and created the impression of various tones and shades. Green paint on the leaves, orange on the trunk.

STEP 4:

Pick one of the sheets from the Carder’s Pack MC92 001A and cut it into strips of various size. With black pen, draw frames on all of them (you can do it on either side of the paper as you will use them both when building the paper cluster). Punch circles in some of the strips.

Once ready, assemble the strips into a paper cluster.

STEP 5:

Once the stencilled design and paint are dry, stamp the leafy design around the area where the paper cluster will be attached. Stamp the ‘family’ around the whole design.

STEP 6:

Attach the paper cluster to the page using 3d foam tape. Sprinkle more green and orange paint over the paper cluster. Using 3d foam tape, attach the photo on top.

STEP 7:

Using double-sided tape attach the earlier prepared chipboard CUTENESS.

STEP8:

Glue in mulberry leaves under opposite corners of the paper cluster.

Good job!
