A Junque Gypsy layout with Sandi Clarkson

Hello there, Marion Smith fans! I'm back today with my second post for the month featuring the oh-so-gorgeous Junque Gypsy collection in the 12x12 version with a subtitle tag from the 6x6 version. I've always loved anything that's a little Boho Chic, so when I stumbled upon this fab vintage photo, I couldn't wait to scrap it! I may have to even use it a couple of more times to satisfy the inner "Gypsy" in me! 

I love that paper tearing has become popular again because it gives an instant distressed look. I used a bit of super heavy gesso, a stencil and some mist to give my base paper some depth and texture. Then I framed the photo with a chipboard piece, some florals and a gorgeous Junque and Gems Aqua Button. When I sacrifice those babies, you know the layout is very special to me! It is super sparkly IRL. Amongst my floral cluster are some Time Keeper paper flowers and a piece of black netting from an old produce sack. 

Here are some close-ups for you:

 

I hope you're having a creative week! 

Thanks for coming by!

Nirvana Mixed Media Cards by Peggy Lee Baker

Hey everyone it's Peggy Lee here 

sharing with you a couple of

Nirvana Mixed Media Cards!

The other day I had some free time and I decided to do some creative play...

and mix it up with Kraft card stock.

I used the Nirvana paper collections and stamps by Marion.

I grabbed a stencil and drywall tape with gesso to create background

texture. Stamping and splattered of glimmer mist makes my heart sing!!

My favorite part was getting to play with Marion's new Bloom Impressions Tool,

brown packing paper and a flower punch...I really love how the tool makes

the paper flowers cup to give great depth.

Here is a video by Marion Smith sharing with us how to use 

The Bloom Impressions Tool

Thanks for stopping by,

hugs
