 Hello my dearest blog reader, today`s sharing is for the company ScrapFx. I created a scrapbook layout with the beautiful faces collage paper called Contour face C silhouette leaves and transparency leaf. This is quite a easy page to do. I used for my background yupo. Yupo is a fantastic material to work with. It is perfect for watercolor and India inkt. You cannot use acrylic paint on Yupo that will not work. You can find Yupo in well- stocked art stores. Unfortunately, Yupo isn't that cheap, but it's worth it if you want to experiment with Indian- ink and wattercolor. But anyway... You are growing so fast. I used from ScrapFx: Contour face C:  leafy stem stamp:  ferny fronds black silhouette:  leaves and branches transparency:  Here is the link to Scrapfx:  https://www.scrapfx.com.au/store/  I have also a Facebook page link for you. https://www.facebook.com/scrapfx I hope you like my inspiration and you feel a little bit inspired to create with the ...

The ScrapFx February release is still the theme "Steampunk".

 Good morning, how are you today? today is my last blog post in the month of January for the company  ScrapFx . Lucky me I have in my design teams a fix date so I can create weeks before I must post. That makes the work as designer so much easier, at least for me. But anyway, lets start with my layout. I created my ScrapFx layout on the new paper collection Secret Garden  from 13arts. My color choise was this time lilac, turquoise , white and black. I usually always prepare everything for my layout,  that means I have already chosen my photo and my embellishments. But in this case I started with my background. I had a little jar of lilac color over, which was on my desk and I was in a mood for a lilac color, so way not use it, right? I also used it on my chipboards: La vie est belle, love tag and the sketchy number from Scrapfx. After the lilac color was dry and my stamping was done  (I used the stamps: triangle collage stamp and circle collage stamp)  I ad...
