Shanna's tips for working with Gelatos

Happy Thursday!  The weekend is approaching quickly, and Shanna's done a nice little video with tips on using Gelatos, so I hope you will break the Gelatos out this weekend and have some fun with them!

This is the card Shanna created using one of the techniques in her video:

Our May Scraps of Darkness kit is here!

Twisted & Tangled Kit


Tangles are all the rage, and our May kit brings this fun style right to your front door!  We've paired the oh-so-gorgeous Cold Country Collection from 7 Dots Studio with the funky and colorful Retro Twist Collection from Fabscraps, and then added embellishments both traditional and unique - a Zen Doodle collage sheet created just for us, some hand-painted, hand-cut glass tiles, Prima/Ingvild Bolme metal Jeans Plates, and more... And don't forget to check out our May kit add ons - they all coordinate beautifully with our Main Kit, and we have a fabulous Marker Airbrush tool in the Creativity add on kit!  You can see the full list of what's included in the Main kit and the kit add ons in our store.

I also thought I'd share two of the gorgeous layouts our done by ladies on our Design Team, as well as two video tutorial's Shanna has done for you:

This amazing layout was done by Di Garling - it's her first month designing for us, and boy, did she ever knock it out of the park!


And you know Renea never ceases to wow us with her beautiful work, she created this dreamy layout with the kit:


Shanna's done two awesome videos to go along with the kit.  In the first, she gives a few comparisons using the Dylusions Mists in our Color Add On with other mediums:



 And in this one, she shows you how she made this beautiful tag, using the kit and the Color Spritzer Airbrush tool in our Creativity Add On:





And I'll just end with this note - if you aren't already following our blog, you will want to be sure to start now!  We'll be posting more gorgeous work from our design team throughout the month, as well as Lizzy's tutorial with this kit, and you won't want to miss out!


Thanks for stopping by today, and I hope you are all having a beautiful Memorial Day weekend!

New Educator!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are so happy to announce our newest educator at Scraps of Darkness!
Shanna Shands!


Here is a bit about Shanna!

Hi everyone. My name is Shanna, and I am one of those stay at home mothers who went from all work and no play to all play and no work!  I have always loved various types of crafting but started really scrapbooking in 2004.  However, my true passion came forth when it was time for daughter’s first birthday in 2010. I could not find the right birthday invite so I went on a search to make some and the magic happened where I fell in love! That following year in 2011 I found copics and taught myself to color. I then began the collection of rubber stamps and papers, not looking back once.  Now I have stepped further into the creative world of art and enjoy creating pieces but not limited to: altered art, mixed media, ATCs, cards, scrapbook layouts, and other 3d projects.

Thanks for stopping by!
