My "Scrap My Photo" Layout....

 

 

If you follow Twiddleybitz on the Ning site, you will know there was a little competion a few weeks back.  If you wanted a special photo scrapped by one of the Design Team, send in a photo and there were winners picked by random.  The lady I got to scrap for was a lovely lady called Trish, and this was the beautiful photo of her grown up children she trusted me with.  Now I am never confidant with Layouts....usually do more OTP...but I really loved the way this turned out.  I used some Webster paper, lots of layering, and Prima flowers and of course TWIDDLEYBITZ !!!!!!!!!  I am so glad Trish likes what I've done.....so it will go in the mail next week !!!!  Thanks Trish, for trusting me to scrap your beautiful photo.....

Rusting Powder

Can u believe this...?????  Twiddleybitz rusting powder is Amazing !!!!!  Just look what it can do to ordinary chipboard ..........And a little goes a long way...... All I did here was sprinkle the rusting powder onto wet black paint .....and once dry...spray with water with a drop of bleach in it....and leave to dry !!!!!     If you want to see more examples, just go and visit the Twiddleybitz Ning site....the Design Team have other examples for you to drool over....... Oh and by the way, the birdcage is a NEW Twiddleybitz product....and am working on another, as we speak !!!!!!!

Well...this is my Floating frame called "A Fairy Teaparty".....made of course ...with Heaps of Twiddleybits .....

This is a list of the products used...and Instructions....

FRA001 1 x Floating Frame

BOR019 1 x Fairy Border

FAIR003 1 x Fairy Waving

MUSH001 1 x Tall Mushroom

MUSH003 1 x Row of Mushrooms

TEA001 1 x Teapot and Cups

WOR067 1 x Word Tea Party

WOR063 1 x Word Fairy Princess

BIR010 1 x Totally Tweet Oval Cage and Bird

FER02 1 x Fine Fern Leaves Assorted

FER03 1 x Fine Fern Leaves Large

ER004 1 x multi pack fern leaves

Step1

Assemble the Floating frame as per instructions enclosed with the product. Cover the front

and outside of the frame with paper. I have used Webster paper from the Christmas range.

Then paint the inside of the frame, both front and back of the acrylic. Only remove the adhesive

cover from the acrylic after the paint is dry.

Step2

Paint the mushrooms and apply Dimension magic, to create a high shine. Paint the Fairy border

and the single fairy in your chosen colours....and then apply glitter. Leave these all to dry.

Step3

To the back of the acrylic, add some texture by adding some burlap, a little lace and some

white netting. Print poem out onto some white paper making sure the printed part is only

about 3 x 3.5”. But leave extra paper top and bottom, of the print when trimming.

Add two sticks (collected from garden or park) and wrap top and bottom of the poem, then

glueing to make scroll. I also added some gauze and some beads to decorate.

Step4

Start glueing the mushrooms and the fairies, into place in the Frame. Glue some Webster

rosette ribbons (green) in and around the bottom of the frame to represent grass. Position the

poem scroll and glue to the back. Paint birdcage and bird (add a feather if you wish) for wing.

Slightly bend the birdcage so it is curved, instead of flat, and add some ribbon to the top, and

some German Scrap to the bars of the cage.

Step5

Paint all the fine fern leaves, and layer and glue behind the large mushroom. When dry, glue

on beads and some pearl sprays.(used in Wedding decoration). Paint the words, removing any

words not needed. Add glitter and allow to dry. Run the teapot and cups, through the cuttlebug

with an embossing folder to add some texture. Then paint and add some German Scrap, which

can also be painted, then inked to enhance texture.

Step6

Add some prima flowers to the bottom right hand corner. Paint and then glue, 2 x fern leaves from

multi pack,tucked under the flowers. Then position teapot and cups...glue down. Lastly, glue down

the words “Fairy Tea Party”...

So...I hope you you have loads of fun...recreating some of the projects you've seen this weekend.....And somewhere in my blog is a secret word that will be obvious, hopefully to all.  Dont forget to collect the secret words as you go to collect a phrase.....Once you have them all....to the very last on our blog hop list.....
Send the phrase to Sandra on the Ning...as there will be another prize draw.........

I have always loved working with Twiddleybitz  over the years....Its by far my favorite chipboard.....in fact the only brand I use !!!!!!!
