DT Project #2 by Minxy, Featuring:

Kaisercraft Base Coat Collection

Here I am as promised with my second offering using the Base Coat papers.

I opted for a scrapbook layout as I am on a shabby chic kick ATM and felt the papers really lent themselves well to it.

I started by using 'raindrops' prima stencil and gloss gel on the 'weathered' sheet.

When dry I spritzed some 'patina' cosmic shimmer vintage mist all over the page.

I stamped in white stazon using the 'memory' kaisercraft clear stamp randomly over the page.

Next I cut several strips from the 'Distressed' paper and mounted them onto some card to give them a bit more dimension, like little planks of wood. I also used the 'distressed' paper to back small slits I had torn and rolled on the outer edges of the page.

I arranged the mini planks into a frame and stuck in place with stix2 ultra clear tape.

I used some cheap photo corners to hold the pic in place, covering them with some fancy moulded corners I made from clay.

I then set about embellishing the page with other bits from my stash like the 7 Dot studio 'dreamer elements' and prima flowers, oh and some gauze kindly given to me by my teamie Gillian xo

DT Project #1 by Minxy, Featuring:

Kaisercraft Base Coat Collection

Hay Snazzy fans. 

Hope everyone is enjoying the nice summery spell we have been having here in the UK.

So as you know we are working with the very cool kaisercraft base coat papers and some of their clear stamps too.

My first project is using the 'Bark' sheet.

I started by giving a blank wooden box {from Snazzy's} a coat of cream eco green acrylic paint but only on the edges as I knew most of it would be covered with papers.

I then measured and cut out the paper to fit each side and the top and stuck it all down with cosmic shimmer glue.

I diecut a butterfly and some swirls from the same paper and from some manilla card.

I then stamped the box using the 'perfume' clear stamp for the top, the 'journal' clear stamp for the sides, along with one of the words from the 'secret admire-definitions' clear stamp set for the front.

I used a prima 'engraver collection' flower coloured with a bit of distress ink to match the paper and the die-cut pieces to embellish the top. A brad for the faux knob and some old bingo chips painted black for the feet.

I hope today's project has been to your liking, I'll be back again with a nice shabby scrapbook layout on wednesday, 

so till then Stay Inky

Design Team Project #3 ... London To Paris

Happy Saturday everyone, hope you are all enjoying the weekend so far. Today I'm back with my final project of the week featuring the Base Coat Collection from Kaisercraft.

In conjunction with some Tim Holtz/Studio 490/Ranger goodies also available at Snazzy's. I'm not normally a "Green" person but these weathered shabby papers are lush. I started out by painting this Studio 490 Art Parts Five Panel Frame using Distress Paints (Mowed Lawn) then some (Bundled Sage) to tone it down a bit. I then added some Walnut Stain Distress Ink around the edges. Next I cut the "Weathered 12x12" cardstock to size. Using Archival Ink (Sepia), I then stamped the "Chicken Wire" design from Tim Holtz Mixed Media Set randonmly over the background. For the next layer of stamping I used Archival Ink (Jet Black) to stamp the "Collage" design from Tim Holtz Paris Memoir set.

I stamped further images from Tim Holtz Paris Memoir & London Sights stamp sets onto the "Distressed 12x12" cardstock from the Base Coat collection. The word "Journey" is from the Secret Admirer Definitions Clear Stamp Set from Kaisercraft.

And finally some more stamping on the outer panel and my favourite Ideaology embellies .... Hitch Fastners.

Don't forget to leave a comment HERE to be in with a chance of winning a Snazzy prize.  Lesley is up next on Monday with the most stinkin cool project featuring the Base Coat Collection.

Until next time ....
