More Island Escape!

I am at 10 pages on this kit, and still have more to work with. Seriously terrific value in Selena's kits!

These poor little peacock's at the resort were the saddest I have ever seen. 

They had very few of their signature feathers left. I am not sure if that was done on purpose, to stop the tourists molesting them, or if they were clipped, or if they were sick. It did seem too evenly done to be an accident.
NOTE: The photos of the peacocks had very busy backgrounds. So, I decided to fussy cut them to highlight the birds better.

I decided to beef up the sand image in on the paper with:

Use a dauber to swipe large areas, alternate with TH Distress sandy powders and a heat gun.

For this layout, I 'PPG' the inside of the emboss basket weave. It can be difficult to scrapbook busy, colorful flower photo's. I cut mine into 3 x 3 inch squares to form one solid 6 x 6 display. Then re-matted the one I wanted to highlight. 'The Hibiscus' of course!

 

Tips for this one:

I used the word strip to form the journaling. First thing I did was secure it to a thin piece of double sided tape. That way, it is fast to cut and glue to the journal card. The jangles along the lower edge is beaded ribbon from the stash. with Washi tape over the ribbon.

Close-up of the journal grouping and finishing details.

 

Flamingos

This layout was done with two sheets, a lot of cut, flip, flop, and paste.

Cuba has a large flamingo sanctuary inland of the coast of 'Cao Coco' island chains. It is a HUGE no-no to kill a pinky!

More Kit Blitz !

 



-The die cut leaf from this kit was just begging me to turn it over and use is as a stencil background on some of the paper.

-After I got done playing with the inks, I decided I wanted it to look more like a leaf I had just picked up of the rainforest floor.

I got out the Mod Podge

-Do one complete coat and let it soak in . This will happen quickly and you might want to lightly dry the back to stop the leaf from being too saturated.

-Then put another coat of Modge on and dry it to a tacky point with your heat gun.

- Gently start to shape it by moulding it over a curved surface. Place your solid object {I used the rounded side of my glue container}

- I started with the center crease folding it towards the center from the front side. Then did the individual leaves from the back, curving and drying as I went.

 

For the Title, I chose to go with a stencil

- Outlined it with a pencil. NOTE: it helps to have a line to work off of. You can do this with removable tape, or a light pencil line.

- I used India Ink in Black marker to fill in. This makes a nice solid background.

- Last fill in with stickles to add the glitter. Remember with stickles, you have to work so you do not smear your stickles, and allow to dry for probably and hour. So, do it last!

 

This is how they rocked the leaf on Kaisercraft Blog!

 



 

Because we all see a leaf differently!
