Create In Color with Tamiko

Sunday, December 14, 2014

Happy Sunday and Season's Greetings! Tamiko here and I am playing in my Rummage and Ransack Mixed Media Kit! I am truly enjoying it! I have been taking it with me whenever I go out and may wind out sitting a spell. Let me remind you what our lovely kit looks like.. Shall I? :)

Get your Rummage and Ransack kit for yourself or for that special someone who needs a little art in their life! ::I like when Sandee says that::

Ok.. My mission for today's featured page was-

Scavenge item 30: Four Squares

Alteration 59: Add music

Alteration 58: Color outside the lines

(yeahhh!!) I knew when I sat down i would need to use my paints. I felt the need to be bright and colorful and use black and white as my accent colors. This is what i came up with..

I covered my page in gesso, force of habit. I like my paint to move, not soak into my paper. Plus my sheets are thin, so it adds a little support to the page. I then cut four squares out of music papers, killing 2 birds with one stone! Booyah! You can see the bars and notes through the paint, I didn't gesso those areas.. Then I took my water soluble pencil and drew squares again around the boxes.. and proceeded to color *OUTSIDE the lines* with the contrasting colors., Then I took a bit of gesso on my finger and added it to the squares.. and brought those outside colors.. back INSIDE the boxes. Under normal circumstances those colors would and could have created brown in some parts, if I wanted it to. Since I didn't want it to happen, that explains why I added gesso and painted over the gessoed areas. I then I got out my stencil.. I decided I wanted windows.. On my squares, which now looked like skyscrapers to me. I stenciled over areas with various colors including the black for shadowing purposes. I then took my Sakura Koi waterbrush and intensified the darkness on my black pencil markings by applying the wet brush to it! Then I used my Unibal Signo white gel pen to add accents on windows, doodled some wording (which reads, create in color <3) and some highlights (over my large lettering) I wrote Create In Color in Black with my Sakura Identi-Pen from the kit!

Here are a few more close up pics...

Hope you enjoyed my pages. Have a great week and remember you still have time to order this kit.. and other fabulous kits from Barb at Frosted Designs to get it just in time for Christmas!! Don't forget you get FREE SHIPPING (within continental USA) on purchases over $50 or more!

Joni is Mixing it Up!

Friday, August 22, 2014

I'm so thrilled to be back in the swing of things....I had a rather unfortunate situation that left me unable to scrap for a time.... 6 weeks to be exact!!! My husband, myself and son were in a car accident on July 10th. My son (he's 10) only had minor bruises (praise God!) -- and my husband had some bruises and a broken leg. Now, somehow I got the worst of it...I had the same chest and stomach bruises from the seatbelts as my ds and dh....but I also got my legs jammed under the dashboard so I had some leg injuries and my right knee required surgery. I also had a fracture to one of my vertebrae and a broken rib. But the real crazy injury is that I broke BOTH HANDS (right hand required surgery). I was holding a piece of paper in front of me when the impact occured, so we think the airbag hit my hands. But...now it's 6 weeks later and I'm doing better and have been able to scrap again (I'm calling it therapy...not only for my mind, but also for my hands!!)

Sorry for the long explanation.... today I wanted to share some layouts using our Frosted Design kits intermixed. I love that they can so easily coordinate with each other!!

So, when the accident happened, I already had started some layouts using the July "Enchanted" kit.
These first two below also use the wood plaques from the previous "Capture the Moment" kit and are actually size 9x9 and are for a friend's baby book.

After I used part of the background paper, I wanted to use the "rest" of it on the second page, but didn't have quite enough. So, I used a piece of blue paper in the center, and used the stencil and some paint to make the transition between the upper and lower pieces.

Note on the Nana layout, the fairy above the flower is from the newest kit "Summer's End".

This next one was halfway done using the "Enchanted" kit, but I just couldn't figure out how to finish it up.

Then when I sat down with the "Summer's End" kit, I knew the flowers, wood & metal embellishments were the perfect final touches!!

And this last one, I started with the "Summer's End" kit but also used a few other items from the store.

I used the embossing powder from the "Enchanted" kit - it blends in with the blue mist, but it's a subtle accent. (Thanks to my son for spritzing the mist for me..I don't quite have the hand strength to do that yet!) I also used the Hazel and Ruby Mask Alphas (ERUPTION) and outlined the negative space with a Glaze Pen.

Celebrating Our Graduate!

Friday, May 2, 2014

Happy Friday everyone! I had a few quite hours where I had the house completely to myself so I took advantage of that and started to play with some of the messy products sitting on my desk! I added in some of the items from Frosted Designs Kits and this is what I created!

Last May my daughter graduated from Evangel University and we couldn't be more proud! Even though the weather wasn't very Spring-like that day, I decided to make a Spring-Like layout! :)

I had a lot of fun getting a little messy on this one! I started by spraying a little Dylusions Ink (Lemon Zest) on the background paper (which was in the Love is in the Air kit). I then used my Koi Water Brush along with the Watercolor Crayons to add a little orange to the background. I love the water color look! Finally, I used the stencil (from the November Mixed Media Kit) and some Gelatos to create the blue circles!

The patterned papers I layered behind the photo were from the Shades of Spring Kit. I outlined the edges of the patterned paper and scalloped frame on the photo with the Black Gelly Roll Pen! It is perfect for this! I LOVE the black chevron Trendy Tape from Queen & Co so I added that in a few places! Do you like the Studio Calico polaroid die cut? It is from the Sea Breeze Kit! Don't you love it when you have bits and pieces left from kits that you can use like this?! :)

Finally I added a few extras down in the corner of the layout! I can't get enough of the Maya Road Vintage Metal Trinkets!

Tomorrow is National Scrapbooking Day! I hope you get some time to play and create! If you need supplies, you might want to check out the Sale going on in the Frosted Designs Store!

Friday Challenge - Handwriting + Inks!

Friday, April 11, 2014

Hello Everyone!!! Lori here and my last two posts have been all about Handwriting on your projects. It should come as no surprise that part of my Challenge today includes Handwriting!!

I challenge you to use HANDWRITING (either journaling, title or key words)
PLUS INKS on your project.

You can make a layout, card, home decor, mixed media or whatever - as long as you have something handwritten on it and use some ink.

And since this is a "Handwriting" Challenge, what better than to have a prize for writing?!? Sakura of America

is generously offering one lucky person a brand new pack of Gelly Roll Metallics!!!! These pens are truly AMAZING!!!!

For my project today, I wrote out my title using some of Sandee's handwriting techniques. I have never handwritten a title before so this was pretty scary for me!! I am a die cutter and like my titles perfect - but I challenged myself!! I cut some hearts on my cameo and scattered them on my paper. I used Bubblegum Pink Dylusions ink to create my background, color my burlap and color my Studio Calico wood hearts. I also used my Juniper dauber to ink the Kaiser Craft wood flags. The picture is my daycare baby Mackenzie hanging onto my finger as I am holding her.

Love is in the Air.....and I want it my way!

Thursday, January 2, 2014

♥♥♥ I'd say love is in the air, because I love, l♥ve, LOVE this customizable kit! !♥♥♥

And when I can get it my way, then I am definitely loving it!

I used the main portion of the kit to create my BFF Coupon Book

Here is a short slideshow of all the BFF coupons and quotes I used ♥ After all, our best friends need to be shown some love too...even if the love is a bit snarky. :)

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I also couldn't resist the sketch challenge to use ink, paint and/or mists on your project! Now, my new found passion is mixing spray inks to get the exact color I need to match my papers, and the Love is in the Air kit has a salmon coloring to it....and nope...no salmon spray to be found in my stash! So what to do, but mix up some of my own!

I sprayed a piece of white paper with my new salmon spray and stamped the Steampunk Sparrow over it, and voila....a perfect match! Seriously, how cool is mixing up your own colors?
