A {New} Designer at SOD!

Michelle's Come Home!!!

Michelle has had many adventures in the last year or so.

Caught up in a tornado, whisked away far from home...

She did meet a few friends along the way, a tin man with no heart, a scarecrow with no brains,




 

and a cowardly lion...

She faced many frightening things on her travels down the yellow brick road.













It was a long and difficult journey, but Michelle faithfully wore her Ruby Slippers through it all.

And now she is finally back in... Kansas???  NO, not Kansas!  Michelle is here at home at Scraps of Darkness, and we are overjoyed that she is home where we adore and have missed her...

Sarah's beautiful work with our Twisted & Tangled kit

Hello, I hope you all had a beautiful weekend!  Here in Alaska it was definitely sunny and beautiful (this time of year, it's always sunny, there's no darkness, even at night - thank goodness for room darkening curtains, lol!).

So I'm not actually here to talk about the weather, of course!  I wanted to share two gorgeous projects Sarah Routledge has done with our May Twisted & Tangled kit.

The first is a stunning layout, I just love her design on this!

Here's a little close-up and a few details from Sarah:

I started with some gesso on the base page and then layered strips of the Cold Country papers with some strips cut from the cheesecloth in the kit. I added a light coat of gesso to the layers and then used the Shimmer paints to paint along the edges of the strips. I did some masking with light molding paste and some stamping with the butterfly stamp and sentiment included in the Embellishment Add-on. I wanted to add some more texture to the layout, so I added some lines of heavy gel medium and sprinkled clear microbeads on them - LOVE how this added texture and shine to the layout. Finally, I added in some flowers from the Main Kit and Flower Add-on and one of the Prima Ingvild Bolme Junkyard Findings Jeans plates as embellishments.

 She has also done a beautiful mixed media tag.  Here's a photo, and details on it:

I started out by gluing the 7 dots studio paper to a plain tag base. I added cheesecloth, flowers, pearls, chipboard and butterflies to the tag and then misted everything with Dylusions Ink Spray in Posioned Jade. I added some white gesso tot he chipboard, butterflies and pearls and blended it on the tag. Then I misted again with the Jade Dylusions. Once that was dry, I added the sentiment and some of the Shimmerz Paint in Green Olive to the Chipboard and on top of the sentiment to help it blend. I did some masking on the right side of the tag with a Prima mask and some Heavy Gel Medium - to which I added clear microbeads. I then added some Prima Pebbles and clear half beads from a previous SOD kit. Finally I misted the left side of the tag and splattered the whole tag with Dylusions Ink Sprays in Slate Grey and Black Marble.

Thank you for stopping by today, and I hope you have a great night, and a fantastic day tommorow!

A beautiful card

Good morning everyone!

I hope you are all having a wonderful Friday!

Today I wanted to showcase a beautiful and delicate card made by Di using the Twisted and Tangled Scraps of Darkness kit.....

 

The papers including the butterflies which she fussy cut

from one of the papers & all the flowers, all came from the

kit and the flowers from the Flower Add On.

She also made a matching envelope from one of the papers too.

She loves using a double sided paper to make an envelope, 

because when you open it, you see the other pretty side.

In this case, it is the butterflies which I have also  cut

 out & put on the front of the card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Vintage loveliness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good morning everyone!

Today I am sharing two gorgeous vintage-y projects from Renea, both created with our Timeless kit!

There is lots of paper layering and fussy cutting, along with lots of edge distressing and inking.

The Doily and resin frame are from the Embellishment Add On

look at her clustering!

Next, She has one of those hand sewn memory pockets that I create from upcycled manilla file 

folders.

The front has lots of paper layers that have been inked, distressed and punched, as well as pieces that were fussy cut out, like the pocket watch that is attached with velcro and can be removed to place a small photo or journal on to the back side of.

  

The system with all the tags and journal spots untucked. There are 7 double sided spots in all.

Thanks for stopping by!
