Hi!
Sandra here with my  second share with you using the Dreams Imagined kit

 

I had a bit of a play with this one and just had fun with it.
I placed some of the Kaisercraft number alphas onto the page,
sprayed some black spray onto an acrylic block and just "whacked" it onto the alphas.
My goodness you should see the mess under the photo! lol
The "blobs" did end up being more solid than I anticipated so I added some stamping and a few sprays here and there.. and ended up with an even bigger mess!!! But I kinda liked it.
Once dried I peeled the alpha stickers off, leaving a cool mask.

 

.

I made the glasses from the black card that comes in the kit.
I used a paper piecing template I found online.
(Scrapbook Etc)
(the white bit is double sided tape.. without taking the protective side off, it matched the insulation tape used on the real glassed perfectly.)

 

 

 

 

Outlining parts of the journaling tags and elements help make them pop.

 

Sometimes even the barcodes from the papers are a perfect touch.. plus a bulldog clip I nicked from my husbands office... shhhh!! ;-)
and the finishing touch were some of the diamonds which I had already sprayed white from my first layout. Too easy!

 

 

And there it is .. my second layout.
I'll see you soon with my third layout... hmmmm.... might go a bit "prettier" with the next one. .. using the flowers in the kit.. and maybe making my own. ;-)

 

 

 



Dreams Imagined, 25yrs.

Hello
Sandra here again!
How awesome is the Dreams Imagined Kit?

I fell in love with it as soon as I opened my happy mail from Beck,  the colours are just divine.

For my first layout I went for quite a simple look.
I had some fun with the background and tried something a little different with the awesome piece of Twiddleybitz lattice chipboard

Here is how I created it.

Firstly I trimmed the grey cardstock to 29.5cm x29.5cm.
I cut out the centre of the IMAGINE paper and used this to matt the grey cardstock.

Using the Kaisercraft stamps I first randomly stamped the edges and the layout with white ink.
and then I repeated this with black ink.
I added some white, orange and aqua watered down water colours splats to add a bit of colour to the background... they look awesome against the grey!

Next I created the chipboard flower.
I painted the entire chipboard piece with white matte  spray paint.

(you can use which ever medium you like.. I am an impatient person and I find that spray paint gives great coverage and is also fast drying )
Then.....



1.       Cut out your 5 diamonds from the lattice (I only used 5 because I knew that the flower would be tucked under the photo.. but to make a complete flower cut out 6 diamonds.
   2.  Glue the diamonds onto the piece of Imagine paper that you cut out earlier.

3.  Fussy cut around the your flower.

4.  I found a plain white button in my stash and embossed it using the silver  TINBY METALLIC MELTS in the kit.

I then assembled the layout as seen in the photo.

To help the title stand out I outlined it with white gel pen



Next I created the butterflies.
I simply used the gorgeous butterfly stamp that is in the kit with  Staz on Ink and stamped it on the piece of white card in the kit.

then...

On an acrylic block I added some mint gelato and then sprayed it with water. I blended it with a paintbrush and then simply painted the stamped image, blotting any excess water with a baby wipe.
Then I fussy cut the butterflies and added them to my layout.



Added some journaling ...

And my layout is complete!



I hope you have fun creating with your new Dreams Imagined Kit.
