PaperHaus and eclectic Paperie

I have some VERY exciting news to share! 

I have been invited to the eclectic Paperie design team!!! I am so excited to become a part of such a talented group of ladies. 

This is just in time for the 1 year anniversary of PaperHaus online magazine!!! Check out the latest edition of this amazing magazine! The Fall Splendor event is filled with inspiration from PaperHaus and the eclectic Paperie team so make sure you click through each blog for inspiration! Enjoy the hop and remember that the Fall Splendor Blog Hop runs from September 1st to the 15th so plenty of time to be inspired! 

Fall issue

Here's a fall LO I created for eclectic Paperie to inspire you:

and some close ups:

The stamps are all from the same stamp set from Close to My Heart. 

The flowers are made using the Spellbinders die Blossom 1 and the smaller buds are dollar store finds.

I covered the bird cage first with green gelato, followed by a layer of crackle accents, and finally a layer of Distress Crackle paint in black.

I hope you enjoyed the layout and be sure to look through the PaperHaus Fall issue.

Hugs,

Andiepants

This gorgeous kit features the beautiful teal and orange colors of the new Kaiser craft release PLUS Prima's Sunrise Sunset collection. Just check out this awesome LO made with this month's kit!!

I love the banner and it was so easy to make! Kaisercraft's diecut pieces make layering a snap and look at that gorgeous chipboard!! Covered in Ferro texture paint and painted with silks glazes in spiced pumpkin and Lindy's in mint. All of these were included in our kit this month (main kit, embellishment add on, and mixed media add on). I also stamped a fantastic little frame using the silks glaze up in the corner. There is so much you can do with that stuff. I love it!!

Using the technique kit I made this LO for my art journal.

 I used only gelatos for the colors and they were so much FUN to use.

Here's a video on how to make the background.
