Petaloo

Spring Layout

Hello Petaloo fans! It's Irene here and for today's post, I would like to share a Spring layout with unique colors. This layout features some of the beautiful chippies by Creative Embellishments and tons of Darjeeling beauties by Petaloo. 

For this layout, I've chosen the combination of pinks, black and white. I've painted all the chippies with black glitter paste for some textures and sparkles.

To add some pop of colors in between all the blacks, I've used Petaloo pretty flowers in pinks. This adds so much dimension and colors to it.

I've also used some Anenome and jeweled florettes to add more vibrant colors to it.

Petaloo Supplies Used:

Darjeeling Anenome - Pink (1490-110)

Dahlias - Pink (1467-110)

Petites - Pink (1465-110)

Jeweled Florettes - Wht/Blk/Grey/Pink (1350-120)

Mini Butterflies - Pink (1486-110)

 

Other Supplies:

Creative Embellishments chipboard

 

Hope to see you all again soon!

xx Irene Tan

Every Puppy Should Have A Boy

Petaloo loves Pets!  We're celebrating by giving away a 10 pc Petaloo Prize package, enter here!

Hi everyone!

Lynne here and today I'm sharing a layout with you of my grand-son Jackson and his friend Charlie the Beagle. These two, just love each other! So yes, Every Puppy Should Have A Boy!!

Once again, I dug deep in my stash to create this layout. Every year I resolve to use up as much of my stash as I can. I might be kidding myself into thinking I can ever use it all up!!! But I'm trying!

 For the background, I layered a some strips of patterned paper, then a wash of gesso. Once dry I added some Shimmerz in blue and orange. On top of that I ran some molding paste and dimensional paint in green through a stencil....these were layered over each other at the same time. Finally, I added strips of torn lace covered in the blue Shimmerz, then some stamping in orange, and some wriggly lines in a teal marker.

Here you can really see the texture I achieved with more dimensional paint, over the chippy keyhole. I used a brush and just dabbed it on.

Of course, my favorite part always includes adding flowers! Yes, even on boy layouts!! The Vintage Velvet Peonies, Briar Roses in Canvas and the Garden Rosettes, layer so beautifully together!! A few smaller blooms, Textured Mini Blossoms, Hydrangeas and Jeweled Florettes, complete the look.

 The gorgeous colors of these blooms, keep the look from being too feminine, but add enough softness to keep it from being too harsh.

I hope you enjoyed! See you soon, Lynne.

Summer layouts and DIY flowers

Maggi here to share two summer layouts with you today, both using Petaloo's awesome DIY flowers. 

 

I used Graphic 45's Safari Adventures on this first layout to scrap photos I took at the Miami Zoo where it's always summer!  I had a blast dying my flowers to match the tropical imagery in this collection.  These flowers are so great because you can easily dye them using mists or other coloring agents.

 

I colored the salmon colored flowers by simply spraying them with my mist. To color the yellow largest flower, I first misted it with yellow and then I painted on a little red mist on the ends of the petals. Then I quickly blotted with a paper towel so that the color effect would be subtle.

 

For this flower, I gave it an all over misting with yellow, then I sprayed a little red mist on my craft mat and tipped my paintbrush in it, and painted the flower center and touched the flower tips.

 

 

I just touched these sweet little blooms with a hint of red while they were still damp from the yellow mist and blotted with a paper towel to keep the effect subtle.  

 

 

Petaloo Supplies:

Dahlias x 10 Teastained Cream 1467-105

First, a big thank you to Simple Stories for these bright summery papers that I used to create this family reunion layout!   I used the same technique on this layout to color the flowers. I love that so many of Petaloo's flower styles are available as DIY flowers and that picks are also available! 

 

 

I've used leaf picks in this floral cluster along with textured layers and canvas dogwoods.   All of these products absorb color so well.

 

 

Oops, one little gerber daisy that was already colored slipped in here.  ☺

So let's get the party started with our Petaloo DT member ... Lynne Forsythe

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

 

Welcome Welcome to the
Petaloo and Simple Stories Blog Hop!

I was sooo inspired by the DT package
I received, I created 2 projects.

I thought I would do something a bit different
and create a layout.
But it just wouldn't be me to not
add a bit of texture medium and paint...

 

I began by "mapping" out where I wanted
my "path" of texture medium to go
and applied it through my stencil
onto Simple Stories ~ Dig It 
from the Bloom & Grow Collection.

 

When dry, I applied a diluted mixture
of pink paint to my
"rocks" to create depth and to tie them
in with my "pink" theme.

I just LOVE the photo I chose to use
for my layout,
 of my daughter and I on Mother's Day
and the words on one of 
Simple Stories ~ Bloom & Grow
3 x 4 Journaling Cards
matched PERFECTLY!

How cute are the 
chipboard and sticker banner??

I had so much fun integrating the 
chipboard and sticker elements
with my flower cluster which was filled with
Petaloo Blooms
Garden Rosettes x 6 Canvas ~ Pink
Cherry Blossoms x 24 ~ Blush
Petites x 24 ~ Spice and Green
Botanica Mini's ~ White
Flowering Pick ~ Black Berry
Calla Lily Cluster ~ White
Baby's Breath Pick ~ White

For my second project I created a card.

I used the same technique 
of applying the texture medium to my card face.

Once again, I applied diluted paint to
my stone path.

I splattered the paint onto the card face.

I cut up the leftover chipboard and
applied it to my "Happy" sticker.

Here are a few close ups!

I hope you have enjoyed my creations
using the incredible
Simple Stories ~ Bloom and Grow
and the
Petaloo Blooms!!
