I did a crackle finish on the Fullness of Summer pieces but didn't like the way it looked so I covered it with Nuvo Drops (Vintage Dusty Rose and Chocolate chip for the flowers and stem and Crystal Antique Rose for the leaves). I also misted them with a bit of Walnut Gold Glimmer Mist and inked around the edges in brown to add dimension. </div>

The Moroccan Accent piece was painted white and glazed with brown paint to antique it. I then applied a think layer of glue and sprinkled with Seth Apter Embossing Powders Baked Velvet - Dusk and Lime.</div>
<div>
I was going to leave it without heat embossing but the colour was a little too green for this layout so I misted it with Lindy's Stamp Gang T-Bird Turquoise spray and dried it with the heat gun. I then inked around the edges with Library Green Archival Ink.</div>

Instead of misting the white die-cuts with water before running the mold through my BigShot, I brushed them with Lindy's Stamp Gang Burnt Umber Vintage Spray and Autum Maple Crimson Shimmer Spray (a very messy process but I liked the end result). I then used a glue gun to layer the die-cut flowers and finished them off with some Prills in the center.<br />

For the leaf and flower die-cuts, I traced around them with a marker to accentuate the edges. The larger die-cuts were layered over a black copy and offset slightly to create a faux shadow. To make the small spiky flowers, I layered the small flower die-cuts and glued some Prills in the center using Perfect Paper Adhesive. I transfered some of the adhesive to a small fine-tipped bottle for more precise application.<br />

I painted the chipboard pieces dark brown then applied Prima Texture Paste - White Crackle. When that was dry I rubbed brown ink overtop to "antique" it and accentuate the cracks. I also traced around the edges with a brown marker to make it "pop" off the page a bit more. Nuvo Vintage Drops in Bonnie Blue was applied to the floral parts of the Spring Trinket pieces.</div>

For this layout, I used a piece of 49 and Market paper from their Vintage Remnants collection for the background. I used the bonus sheet located on the backside of the cover sheet from the Collection Pack.<br />

I did some machine embroidery stitching along the edge of the page. Switching direction at the corners made the stitches there a bit messy looking so I covered them with some tiny buttons and some Prills.<br />

I embossed the chipboard pieces with a couple of different colours of Distress Embossing Powders, using clear ink all over and applying one colour of powder all over. After that was heated and cooled, I applied clear ink with an embossing marker to some parts and embossed with the second colour. The colour of the Lace Border wasn't quite what I wanted so I rubbed some paint overtop to better match the orange flowers.<br />

I ripped and distressed the edges of the paper and inked them with Library Green Archival Ink. I layered this over a piece of burlap and a piece of black paper. The edges of the black paper were coloured slightly by rubbing them with Patina Gilders Paste Wax and Library Green Archival Ink.<br />

The background was stencilled lightly with Jet Black Archival Ink using a Clarity stencil brush. I then went over the stencilled areas adding hints of colour with a marker.<br />

The pale yellow flowers were made with the Tattered Floral dies. I used the 3D Floral Basics shaping mold by Heartfelt Creations to help shape the flower layers. The centers for these two flowers were made by layering the Miniature Velvet Daisies die-cuts and gluing some microbeads in the middle.</div>

I painted the Flourish pieces dark brown and used a palette knife to apply crackle paste mixed with some green paint overtop (cleaning up the edges with a needle). After that was dry, I rubbed a liberal amount of Patina Gilders Paste Wax overtop and then lightly added some Vintage Gold Metallique wax by Prima. Then I glued on some Spruce Willis Prills.</div>

I trimmed the Devonshire paper down slightly, ripped off two of the corners, then distressed and inked the edges. I layered this over the Highgate paper, tucking in some corrugated paper under the torn edges. I also put a piece below the photo. The raised ridges of the corrugated paper were brushed with white paint.<br />

On the background I did some stencilling with modelling paste (Faber-Castell whipped spackle) and added some green watercolour. I also used a pencil crayon to add a little more pink to the paper along the shaded areas of the flowers.</div>

I applied some green watercolour to the background, punched the edges and added some eyelets.<br />

As usual, I layered the die-cuts over a black copy and offset them slightly to accentuate the edges.<br />

I painted the Floral Lace Border orange, inked around the edges in brown and lightly rubbed some yellow paint over the top to make the colour match the flowers more closely and to add dimension.<br />

Well, it's been a while but I finally have another finished page to share.<br />
<br />
<br />
For this layout I used papers from the Old Lace collection by Stamperia.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I glued some Prima mica flakes in Mulberry and Prills (Express-o-Yourself) onto the background using Artquest's Perfect Paper Adhesive.<br />
<br />

I layered all the die-cuts over a black copy and offset them slightly to accentuate the edges.<br />

<br />
<br />
I used another sheet of the same paper to make most of the die-cuts for some subtle layering. As I usually do, I layered the die-cuts over a black copy and offset them slightly to accentuate the edges and add dimension. I also inked around the edges of the die-cuts with Chestnut Roan Colorbox Chalk Ink.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
These are the dies and punch I used:<br />

For this layout I used a piece of Tim Holtz Idea-ology paper from the Wallflower collection as the background.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Z5bSCyravk0/WimOA1ZShcI/AAAAAAAAFWI/_5KcBXAEJNYOCetE1vQ-J06yQtTeJKfHwCLcBGAs/s1600/tim-holtz-th93110-paper-stash-wallflower.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Z5bSCyravk0/WimOA1ZShcI/AAAAAAAAFWI/_5KcBXAEJNYOCetE1vQ-J06yQtTeJKfHwCLcBGAs/s400/tim-holtz-th93110-paper-stash-wallflower.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
I trimmed the edges of the paper slightly, misted them with water and distressed the edges using my fingers. I then inked the edges lightly with Fawn Colorbox Chalk ink.<br />
<br />
This is the die set I used.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />
<br />
<br />
I layered the die-cuts over a dark brown copy and offset them slightly to accentuate the edges.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The white lace pieces were misted with Walnut Gold Glimmer Mist to tone down the brightness and "antique" them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
To antique the Prima resin pieces, I applied a glaze of matte gel mixed with a dab of brown paint and then wiped off the excess.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Using my finger, I rubbed pale pink paint over the metal pieces to highlight the raised areas. I added a little extra paint to the tips of the rose in the center with a paintbrush.<br />

For this layout I used two pieces of an Ella and Viv woodgrain patterned paper (one for the main background and the other for the photo mat and the outer mat under the punched borders). I had originally planned to use a different Ella and Viv paper called "Square Space" from their Modern Art collection but I found it hard to work with the busy pattern of it. The colours I used were based on the "Square Space" paper.<br />

I used a bit more flowers and leaves from my stash on this one, but the cream roses, two larger brown flowers, the printed chipboard border and all the patterned papers are from the kit and add-ons.</div>

I misted the edges of the paper with water and then dabbed some diluted brown ink from a reinker bottle to the wet edges using a paintbrush. I also used a splatter stamp with the brown ink to tie in the darker browns from the tinted photo.</div>

This was a fairly simple layout to make. I started with the beautiful "Sunny Disposition" paper from the Amber and Apricot collection by Blue Fern Studios (available in the <a href="http://www.scrapsofdarkness.com/sold-out-scraps-of-elegance-sept-falling-leaves-kit/" style="text-align: center;">Main Kit</a>). I used the backside of another sheet of the same paper (available in the <a href="http://www.scrapsofdarkness.com/scraps-of-elegance-sept-kit-patterned-paper-add-on/" style="text-align: center;">Patterned Paper Add-on</a>) to make some die-cuts to layer under the photo. I layered each die-cut over a black cardstock version and inked around the edges in brown.<br />

As usual I layered the die-cuts over a dark cardstock version and offset them slightly to accentuate the edges. I also applied some brown chalk ink around the edges of the die-cuts and the background paper.</div>

I used the wired stems off some old flowers from my stash, coated the ends with Beacon's 3-in-1 glue and poured the microbeads overtop. To make the thicker ones, I wrapped some floral tape around the end of the wire before coating it with the glue and microbeads. I stuck the bottom of the wires into a sheet of styrofoam until the glue dried. I then lightly coated them with some fluid matte medium to help keep the microbeads from falling off.</div>
