Scrapping Day

Had a very productive day today at my monthly crop Bristol Scrappers, managed to get six layouts finished and one almost completed.

This first one was inspired by watching a video on how to use the Stewart Gill paints by Linda of Just Scrapbooking, you can watch Linda's videos on her blog http://justscrapbooking.wordpress.com/.  We were given a pack of paints to use at the Altered Book weekend.  Stewart Gill paints are lovely to use, they allow you to build up dimensional layers on your page. I used the true colours as a base coat, then added some of the pearlise to give a pearl sheen, then a top layer of Byzantia colour, a rich metallic paint.  Added some stamping and textures.  These paints are available to buy from Linda's online shop.

 Then a couple of Halloween layouts.

This is Charlie as Catula, makes a great Halloween photo, I added some blood from his fangs in Picnik and gave him some ghoul eyes!  Must have been a full moon??

Then a layout from last nights firework display.  I used the Dylusions spray inks, sprayed each colour then blew with a straw to give the look of fireworks exploding.  I also used a swirl stencil with the ink sprays.

This was the last layout of the day, needs a bit of finishing off.

To finish, Charlie reading my new copy of Craft Stamper!!
