Life is About Moments | Couture Creations

#kerriegurney #couturecreationsaus

Hi Everyone Kerrie here with a layout I created for
Artdeco Creations Blog 
using the gorgeous Couture Creations Sea Breeze Collection
along with the Couture Creations Anna Griffin Mixed Media Collection


I am so excited that this collection is now available worldwide. I have been lucky to have had these products since before my trip to South Africa and finally I can share some projects created using them with you all.
This collection is amazing the pastes are so light and dry quickly so you don't need to dry them off with a heat tool and those pigments oh my they are just perfect for adding a pearlecent touch to all your projects and the Gesso spreads and covers beautifully.
Anyway onto my tutorial for my layout, I love this photo of us all in Noumea, Trevor was the best cruise husband putting up with all us girls.


Firstly add some Blue and Green Pigment colour to the Embossing Paste


mixed it through
(I actually added a smidge of Yellow pigment too to tone lighten the colour slightly)



Next using either a Pallet Knife or you can use a Couture Creations Lift Off Tool, spread the Embossing Paste over the stencil


Lift off the Stencil, These Couture Creations Anna Griffin Stencils are such a good quality that they are a bit thicker than most stencils and so give real depth to your project.
Set Aside to dry and then cut and ink all the edges of your Sea Breeze patterned papers


To ink the edges of the base cardstock, sponge some ink onto your craft mat and then work the ink onto the edge of the base cardstock from your craft mat. This gives more intense inking on the edge with a softer look onto inside edges.
You have more control over how much ink your want your layout to have


Next up change the colour of the metal charm using 3D Pearl Drops


and while the Pearl Drops are still wet paint on to Gold Pigment
(I also added a touch of Copper Pigment to age the charm a bit more)



here is a closer look at my embellishment cluster, I also added broken shells 


The Title on my page is a gift from the lovely Cariena Basson and is one of her exclusive titles.

Lifou Island | Couture Creations

#kerriegurney #couturecreationsaus


Hi Everyone Kerrie here with another project created for Artdeco Creations Blog

I have used the gorgeous  Couture Creations Sea Breeze Collection designed by Denise Boddey for this Double Page Layout
(this is to show my South African friends I can do double pages :) )


This is a super quick layout to re create
I have  cut strips of Sea Breeze patterned paper  and then using a 6x6 piece along with the matching 12x12 piece of Weatherboard pattern paper create bigger mats


I then cut out the ships wheel and shell along with the three shells from Secrets of the Ocean 6x6 pattern paper
I also cut A Day at the Shore label from Caught in the Wind pattern paper.

I then distress and inked all the edges of all pieces of pattern paper, shells and some pennant piece from the ephemera pack
I then layered all the pieces on and then added some splatter to the background before adding my photos


here is a closer look at the pages



To create my cluster on the second page I used the Turbo Glue Pen to adhere everything on placing some White Netting down first. I pulled apart a Paper Magnolia Flower and added some broken shells to the centre of the flowers.



I diecut a label and cut it in half to add a piece to each page of my layout

Hello Sunshine | Couture Creations

#kerriegurney #couturecreationsaus #ultimatecrafts

Hi Everyone Kerrie here with a layout created using the
NEW Couture Creations Sea Breeze Collection
I created this layout for a class I taught last month in Brissie and loved it so much I thought I would share it as my blog post for the Couture Creations Blog

I love this photo of Bezzie, Leith and I taken on a stop off in Vanuatu while we were cruising earlier this year





Instructions

1.       Firstly when cutting papers, Keep all barcode strips
2.       From Collecting Shells paper cut a piece 25cm x 25cm from the center, giving a 2.5cm border
3.       Distress the edges of both pieces and then ink the edges
4.       Cut from Adventurous paper the top section to create a swag
5.       Also cut from Adventurous paper 1 x 15cm x 7.5cm, 1 x 16.5cm x 11.5cm and 1 x 12.5cm x 6cm
6.       Cut from Windy Beach paper 1 x 13cm x 11.5cm and 1 x 6cm x 9cm
7.       Lightly and roughly paint the outside edge of border piece, set aside to dry
8.       Paint Embossing folder using Forest Green paint and randomly stamp onto 25cm square piece of Collecting Shells paper along the bottom 3rd section
9.       Using a finer paint brush flick some paint splatter to the top 2/3rds of piece, set aside to dry off
10.   Paint metal charms using Forest Green paint and set aside to dry
11.   Add some water to paint to create more of a wash effect and paint fence die cut, while still damp scrunch the fence to give some character, set aside to dry
12.   Grab barcode strips and tear Collecting Shells strip down to 24.5cm, Cut Windy Beach strip down to 8cm and Adventurous down to 5cm,
13.   Distress the edges of all papers and base cardstock
14.   Ink all the edges using brown ink pad
15.   Using foam mounting tape adhere the border to base cardstock
16.   Use Turbo Glue Pen or Double Sided Tape to adhere center square down inside border, do not place tape or adhesive right to the edge as you want to be able to curl the edges back, giving a more distress and shabby look
17.   Adhere paper swag
18.   Adhere Muslin across the top, then add portions of fence
19.   Layer on Collecting Shells barcode strip
20.   Layer all papers to go under photo, I stapled them together and then adhered them as one piece
21.   Add photo and adhere Wood Veneer title (you can paint it if you like)
22.   Run a line of Turbo Glue on either side of photo cluster and add broken shell pieces
23.   Embellish with netting,  glass vial and ships wheel charm
24.   Add barcode strips to top left and embellish with compass charm and twine

25.   Finish off with a sprinkling of pearls


 Happy Creating
