ScraPerfect Mixed Media Tag Featuring The Robin's Nest

 

 

Good morning everyone, Kim here with my next project for ScraPerfect.  This time we are doing a cross promo with The Robin's Nest, you have to check out their site and designers!

 

 

I have created a mixed media tag this time, and had so much fun incorporating The Robin's Nest goodies!

 

 

I gave the tag a coat of gesso and then I used some of the Mixed colours of Dew Drops and mixed them in with my Glass Bead Gel from Golden.

 

 

I used my palette knife to put the mixture on the tag in several spots.

 

I also used some of my stencils from my stash to add more texture.

 

The next step was to spray some of my favorite colour sprays on the tag to pick up on the texture of the tag. I dried the layers in between and when it was all dry, it was time to get out The Best Glue Ever with the no-clog writing cap on it for good even coverage and to ensure not much glue is used.

 

 

I put the glue in various places so I could glue down some mica flakes on the tag.

Below is a close up of the mica flakes and I also used some mica powder in silver over the top of the Dew Drop and glass bead gel.

 

 

 

Once everything was dry I got out some of the Saffron Cards from the set we were given in the cross promo and layered them on the tag.

 

I placed some white thread behind the card, then added some metal embellishments and flowers around them as well.

 

I also added some of the remaining Dew Drops around the tag and on the cards.

 

Once again, here is the finished tag!

 

I hope you have found some inspiration today, and will check out The Robin's Nest and ScraPerfect Stores.

Vintage Heritage Layout for Gina's Designs And The Robin's Nest

 

Hello Friends! Today I have a fun share for all of you featuring papers and embellishments from The Robin's Nest.  All month long the team at Gina's Designs Lasercuts is cross promoting with the team at The Robin's Nest, and we have been having a blast playing with the amazing products from them.

 

 

I started of this layout with my inspiration being this lovely lady in one of my vintage photos from my collection.  She always looked "grumpy" to me, so I dubbed her "the grumpy lady".  I always wonder who these folks are, where they were from and how their photos end up in yard sales and in thrift stores.  I created some background texture on the "Fleur Honeycomb" paper with my texture paste and some Twinkling H2o's to pick up on the colour tones in the paper. I also added some of the Time Flies Rub ons from The Robins Nest to the background, I really love these, they fit in so well with the theme  of the layout.

 

Once the background was complete, I started to layer on more of the papers from The Robin's Nest, some burlap and more chipboard from Gina's.  I used this lovely chipboard frame from Gina's Designs. I took some of the Robin's Nest Dew Drops and placed them on the corner of the frame and then added a few to the ruler at the base of the photo to add some sparkle and shine!

 

My finishing touches were some lace from my stash and some gorgeous Petaloo flowers.  I hope my "Grumpy Lady" is happy in her new home, and maybe somewhere out there, she is smiling.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Snow Angel Layout for Gina's Designs Lasercuts, Featuring Papers from The Robin's Nest

Hello friends! Today I am sharing my layout with you which features the lovely papers and cut outs from The Robin's Nest.  This is our third year working with the team over there and we were super happy to be able to create with this fun set of paper designs.
I chose to do a layout this time as I just loved this Snow Angel Paper!  Gina's garden fairies, snowflakes, and pine tree shape set went really well and kept with in the theme I was going for.

I layered on lots of lovely venise trim and flowers from Kraftsupplies4U, and then tucked in some of the snowflake cut outs we got with our Robin's Nest Papers.

I heat embossed the Fairies with some white and gold powder and then touched up their wings with some silver and gold Silk Acrylic Glazes.  The snowflakes were also heat embossed and then I added some fun Prima Bling to the center of each.

 The pine trees were a lot of fun to make, I used more of the Silks Acrylic Glazes on them in some blue and green tones and then topped them off with some Snow Tex to give a wintery feel.  The lovely lady in the photo above I thought went perfectly with the snow angel theme and I surrounded her with some rosette trim and snowflakes.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my layout!  I had lots of fun creating with The Robin's Nest Papers, you can check out their site HERE for more information.
