Cute As A Button Layout by Shanna

Hello to all you lovelies out there. Shanna here with a layout. I just love this photo and thought it went great with these Tea Party papers.

I love the layers of papers I added along with some flowers and a doily. I did add some gold sparkle to the background for some extra shine.

I added a chipboard title that was painted with black paint. 

I really love the tag I cut out from one of the cut out sheets  (sorry I don't remember which one though). 

I also added some cardboard under the photo for a little dimension. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Make sure you keep coming back for more inspiration!

Smile - A Layout Using Mad Tea Party by Kim Price

Today I have another layout to share using the gorgeous Mad Tea Party collection - this time with an inky misted background using Dylusions ink spray. 

As anyone who knows my style would know I love nothing better than to create something arty and, as luck would have it, this style of scrapping looks fantastic teamed with this collection. 

I've chosen Calypso Teal, sprayed it onto my thick cardstock background and tilted it all to let that gorgeous color run and form patterns. After my cardstock was completely dry I then created a banner from the coordinating patterned papers, overlapping them up for a fun look.

Next I began to build up my layers surrounding my photographs. I've used cut outs from the ephemera papers behind my photographs for some added dimension as well as some fussy cut rose elements. I then stamped the large doily image from Tea Party Acrylic Stamp Set onto white cardstock - once in rose red and once in turquoise - fussy cutting the images out and tucking them between my layers either side of my photographs.

Here is a closer look at the rose coloured doily stamp along with a checkerboard embellishment I created using a 1 inch round Shape Studio tool from Epiphany Crafts. This is such a great way to use up some of those small leftover pieces and looks fantastic.

Sweet - A Layout Using Mad Tea Party by Kim Price

I just cannot get enough of the Mad Tea Party collection. I love everything about it from the colours, the patterned papers and the gorgeous matching elements. Today I want to share another project I've created with this line featuring a too sweet photograph of my little friend who follows me everywhere at home - my gorgeous silver Burmese, Anika. I just adore this photograph taken of her when she was just a wee babe and it looks wonderful tucked in amongst the gorgeous pinks and aqua tones of Mad Tea Party.

I've used similar techniques to my previous post A Steampunk Style Christmas Layout, creating a distressed layered border using various papers from Mad Tea Party, tucking in my photographs, a few elements from the patterned papers, flowers and some antiqued lace. 

I'm just loving the gorgeous vintage style red armchair image - so I've added that tucked in behind a few flowers. Anika loves nothing better than curling up into a ball on a soft comfy chair so this is the perfect touch!

On this section of layout I've used some clock face images to create a layered effect and the finishing touch are those two sweet little butterflies hovering above.

Mad Tea Party Curious Stamp Set by Kim Price

Hi guys! Today I want to share a card I created using the gorgeous rose image from the Mad Tea Party Curious Stamp Set. I just LOVE this image and it's so much fun to color! I've used Copic markers in my sample, but this rose looks fantastic colored using all kinds of mediums - watercolors, water markers, Gelatos, acrylic paint, Distress Inks - any of these would work equally as well.

I started out by stamping four of the rose images onto Copic compatible cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Dye Ink. I've used the dye ink for my stamped images as it is compatible with my Copic Markers, meaning it won't run and reactivate causing a mess with the markers. Next I chose my colors, coordinating these with the colors used in Mad Tea Party by picking a few of my favourite patterned papers then matching my copic colors from there. This ensures you get the perfect palette to work with!

Now the fun part begins! I colored all my rose images using lighter shades on the outer edges of my rose petals and blending the darker shades towards the centers of each petal. Each petal was blended separately to ensure a smooth blend, using the lighter shades on the outside petals and darker shades towards the center. The flower center was colored using yellow/amber shades then I've adhered clear microbeads for some added texture. I also blended the leaves in green shades.

After all the shading was complete I fussy cut around each flower starting with my base as the largest piece, the top petals were trimmed from the center piece and the third layer is just the front few petals. For the fourth layer I have just used the center bud of the flower along with the petal right at the very front of the flower. Each of these layers has been pieced together using dimensional dots for a realistic 3-D effect. The end result is simply stunning - an amazing handcrafted dimensional rose to add to a special project. I have placed mine on a card but this would look equally as stunning on any papercraft project you had in mind.
