Product Spotlight

Hi Everyone,

Mel here to share with you a new product on the shelves!

I have been having a play with this product and I have fallen in love with it!

It is so easy to use and it is so vibrant with stunning colour!

The product that I am spotlighting today is

MAGICAL

Bachelor Button Blue

By 

Lindy's Stamp Gang

Magicals are a unique product containing a powdered pigment stain that activates with water, with a burst of mica shimmer for ooomph!!
(Taken from the Lindy's Stamp Gang website)

The Bachelor Button Blue is a rich and vibrant blue with a soft blue shimmer.

Magicals come in a variety of colours.

I have been experimenting to see the different ways the Magicals work...whilst having lots of fun! 

Below I have shared some of the ways this product could be used...

1. Straight from the jar

Using a wet paint brush dip the brush into the powder and then add it to your project.

2. Add the powder to other mediums

Here I have added a small amount of powder to Mod Podge and Texture Paste.

3. Use Magicals with your stamps

Here I put Versamark Watermark Ink on my hexagon stamp and then took a dry brush and dusted the Magicals powder over the stamp. I then stamped it into cardstock.

The other one below and the one above I added water to the powder on the stamp. It also started to react when I began to wipe the powder with baby wipes.

For the following image...I used a stamp and the Versamark Watermark Ink and stamped the image onto the cardstock.

I then took a dry brush and some powder and brushed it over the stamped image.

4. Magicals as water colours

Add a small amount of powder to water and use this like a watercolour paint. The darker parts are where the powder has come back together and sunk to the bottom of the water.

5. Add a small drop of water to some powder to make a paste.

I have then painted this paste onto the card and then stamp an image over it.

6. Magicals and Baby Wipes

When cleaning my clear stamps with baby wipes I just happened to stamp the baby wipe onto the cardstock...to come up with this gorgeous effect.

These are just some of the ways that Magicals can be used. I am sure there are millions of other ways.

This product is so fantastic and such a great product for so many different projects, especially mixed media projects.

Thanks for stopping by today and checking out one of the latest products around.

I hope you got your challenge in...

Until next time,

U R Invited

Good morning everyone and welcome to Wednesday!

A quick little post today to share with you another project using the Fancy Pants Everyday Circus Paper Collection.

I just couldn't resist with this paper to create a little invitation. 

Whilst I have only made one how cute would it be to use this collection to make a set of party invites???

All of these products can be found at Scrapbookit. 

Just send Jo an email...joanne@scrapbookit.com.au and she will happily organise the products to be posted to you.

You only have until tomorrow (30th) to get your entries to Jo for the October sketch challenge.

Pop back here tomorrow for a 'Product Spotlight' where I will share with you a newer product on the shelves.

Until then, happy scrapping!

My Little Daredevil

Hi Everyone,

Mel here again with another project using this months challenge sketch.

Here is the sketch again, in case you have missed it.

For this layout I have left the sketch as is.

Here is what I came up with...

Again, I have used the gorgeous Fancy Pants Designs 'Everyday Circus' paper collection.

I started with a piece of Licorice Kaisercard. I sprayed it with Heidi Swapp's Colourshine - Teal spray. I have used the patterned paper from Fancy Pants Everyday Circus collection for each part of the sketch. I used the negative of the circle cut for yesterday's layout for this layout.

I have again used the gorgeous Fancy Pants Everyday Circus Ticket Roll as an embellishment above my photo.

I have used three photos on this layout. I started with one 5x7" of Brayden out the front of The Great Moscow Circus. I then used  the same photo in a 6x4" over the top using foam tape.

I also used a photo of the circus tents and stuck it down between the other two photos.

How is your entry for the challenge going?

Can't wait to see what you have created!!!

Pop back tomorrow to check out my next little project!
