<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Hey Arty peeps, I'm back today sharing a layout and background tutorial I created for <a href="https://www.flutterbydesigns.com.au/">Flutterby Designs</a>. Its messy, textural and celebrate all things mixed media!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">First off, grab all your supplies you need to create your background. I've used a combination of Blue and Purple Dylusions Colour sprays, Black house paint, matt medium as my glue, Heidi Swapp alpha's and a heavy weight white cardstock. Also handy to have is a skewer stick, water spray and LOTS of paper towel!</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Start off by sticking your alphas down onto your cardstock with the Matte Medium. However you arrange them is up to you... You can see I've drawn a square where I 'think' my photo may go... Once you have added all you alpha's, allow it to dry thoroughly in the sun or with a heat sun. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Start adding layers of Dylusions sprays, playing with the colours and pooling them in areas. You can dry between layers, and because these reactivate with water, dribble or flick sections with water to give a droplet effect. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is the messy fun part, and there is no right or wrong way to do this. Experiment with spraying and pooling, and you can even un-do the top of the bottles and use the inner straw to flick colour directly to the page. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Once your happy with your colours, allow to dry in the sun or set with a heat gun. Using the wooden skewer, flick/dribble/splatter the black house paint over the top. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This will need some good drying time, but once its set you have a background ready to work on!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I was lucky enough to snap up a <a href="http://d-lishscraps.blogspot.com.au/">D-lish Scraps</a> 'just add paper' kit this month, you have to get in quick because these babies sell out quick. This months theme is 'peaches and cream' and I had this picture of my daughter in my photo stash that I knew would just go with it perfectly. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This was taken on Christmas Eve when she was 23 months old... how do I know she was 23 months, she turned 2 in the January just 3 weeks after Christmas. This is one of those pics that just brings a little tear to my eye when I look back over them... so little, so innocent, and a reminder of when Christmas's held so much magic and joy.... both my children now know the 'truth about Santa' and while the day is still filled with family and joy, a little of the magic has gone...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I don't know about you but this challenge from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Show-us-your-stuff-129652923757037/?fref=ts">Show Us Your Stuff</a> couldn't have come at a better time... I have a moody Mr 15 that refuses to let me scrap pics of him, and a Miss 10 that I am kinda a little over scrapping at the moment (I love her dearly, but she features in 90% of my scrappy pics) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">My apologies for the sentence enhancer but its been a looong week, one that literally ended in me up to my eye balls in poop... the joys of being a Family Daycare Educator. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hubby was away working this week, Moody teenage boy was hibernating in his bedroom like a vampire and Miss 10 was binge watching Friends... cue uninterrupted art time...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I pulled out every <a href="http://www.colourblastaust.com.au/">Colour Blast</a> I had for this one. If you haven't fallen in love with the Colour Blast products yet, get your butt over to their <a href="http://www.colourblastaust.com.au/">BLOG</a> or <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1834201643469993/">FACEBOOK</a> now!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> I mixed up the <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=140">Shimmer dust</a> in Passion, Cobalt and Peacock with a little water in my pallet and added it to my card stock in layers, letting it pool in places, drying inbetween with my heat tool and adding some splatters at the end. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Next I added the <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=132">Colour Paste</a> in Royalty and Just blue through a stencil and set is aside to dry. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I used the left over Shimmer dust in my pallet to colour some white flowers and a crochet doily. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I used the <a href="http://colourblastaust.com.au/catalog.php?category=130">Colour Embossing Powders</a> in Dusty Charcoal and Stormy Weather to coat the 'Serendipity' title I grabbed from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/KinderKreations/?fref=ts">Kinder Kreations</a>. Added to the embellishments was a <a href="http://ourbrightstarsandus.typepad.com/charmscreations/charms-creations/">Charms Creations</a> heart embelle and some Dymo tape. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">So ive been a dark and moody lately with my scrappy pages, so I though it was time to play with some colour.... Ive had this pic sitting in my pile of photos for a little while and was waiting for the right colour mood to hit me to use it... taken at a local scrapping fundraiser day, it capture some of my 'tribe' pretty well... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">So I started scrapping back when my daughter was about 2ish, so 8 years ago... Back then mixed media wasn't a 'thing' and clean cut scrapping, Making Memories and Kazzaz where pretty much the trend... my sewing machine, paint splatters, layers and texture were not received well by the 'masses' and I soon fizzled out. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hello 2015 and my first retreat with the super amazing Peta from <a href="http://www.scrapbookingfromscratch.com.au/">Scrapbooking from Scratch</a>. Here were these awesome ladies that were creating things I had only envisaged in my mind and I found myself singing to the heavens, I HAD FOUND MY TRIBE!!! and with it, my MOJO soon returned... </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We had a friend 'try' and take a picture of us together as we made our way into the Arena to see my most favourit-ist bad ever - SLIPKNOT- and this is what I got.... not a picture to hang on the wall, but captures us pretty well... Jimmy being an idiot wasted and me grinning like an idiot oblivious to his shenanigans... </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My daughter Trinity features in many of my layouts, only because Mr 14 is to cool for pics and doesn't like to be shared with mums stuff... (But posts a million selfies I'm not allowed to use?) </span></div>

At 10 ts hard to find school holiday stuff to do that is relevant to what your into. Here they spray painted t-shirts, explored Newcastle and practised their Hip-Hop moves. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Im pretty sure that when the awesome Heidi Swapp was designing these <a href="http://www.scrappingclearly.com.au/shop/group/heidi-swapp-minc-collection-journal-cover-canvas/">canvas covers</a> to compliment her MINC range, this isnt what she had in mind. I received my Design team bundle from the extremely generous Kylie from <a href="http://scrapping-clearly.blogspot.com.au/">Scrapping Clearly</a> and as I unpacked my goodies this is the thing that grabbed my attention.... this is a good quality canvas cover that is well stitched and was perfect to house my 'junk journal'. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dylusions Colour sprays are my go-to ink sprays as they are super vibrant and the colour just pops. I used <a href="http://www.scrappingclearly.com.au/shop/brand-ranger/dylusions-spray-bubble-gum-pink/">Bubblegum pink</a>, <a href="http://www.scrappingclearly.com.au/shop/brand-ranger/dylusions-spray-vibrant-turquoise/">Vibrant Turquiose</a> and <a href="http://www.scrappingclearly.com.au/shop/brand-ranger/dylusions-spray-crushed-grape/">Crushed grape</a> and some stencils to create the canvas cover background. Dont be afraid to give this a good soaking, the canvas took a fair bit of the colour spray and didnt leach through. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I layered up some flowers, leaves, calico fabric, mesh and a wooden word from <a href="http://www.flutterbydesigns.com.au/">Flutterby Designs</a>. I roughly glued them down then machine stitched the entire thing! I highly recomend you go slow and use a good quality needle made for leather work or heavy duty fabric. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There were a few nights there where my daughter and I went crazy making gelli prints when we first got our <a href="http://www.gelliarts.com/">Gelli plate</a>. I used up all of the prints with colours that matched up with the pink/purple/blue theme and made them into several small books which i stuck together to make a larger journal. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Junk journaling is basically using up all your leftovers or 'junk' scraps and just playing and having fun... Here I've used medical gauze, black tissue paper, texture paste, more Dylusions sprays, black house paint and journalling cards from the <a href="http://www.flutterbydesigns.com.au/product-page/a12d1a58-6310-377e-038d-f4598c8fc04d">Creative Chaos</a> range from Flutterby Designs. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Meh, I have been stuck in a creative funk for a few weeks now, the poor brain has 2 billion tabs open of things to do and art just isn't one of them at the moment... I absolutely love my job as a Family Day Care Educator, but after 50 hrs of kids each week, I find it hard to just switch off and play... So this is when I turn to my favourite scrap booking sites and blogs and steal some inspiration in the form of mood boards and sketches. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I literally on the first of the month go trolling to all my fav sites and print out all the current challenges and whack them up on a cork board in my studio. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The best part of a sketch is that is doesn't have to be an exact copy, but gives you some elements you may like to play with... This month over at <a href="http://scrapping-clearly.blogspot.com.au/2016/11/november-challenges.html">Scrapping Clearly</a> the girls have a funky sketch to play along with. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">You can see that my layout looks nothing like the sketch, but I've used some key elements to inspire me. I've been hanging to use the <a href="http://www.scrappingclearly.com.au/shop/group/crate-paper-maggie-holmes-collection-bloom-12-x-12-double-sided-paper-flutter/">Maggie Holmes wood panel</a> paper, and teamed it up with some <a href="http://www.scrappingclearly.com.au/product-category/simple-stories/">Simple Stories 'SO Fancy'</a> bits and pieces. Add in some <a href="http://www.scrappingclearly.com.au/shop/group/freckled-fawn-washi-tape-calendar/">Freakled Fawn washi and stamps for the title</a>, and of course some machine stitching and you have one layout complete. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Its taken me a long while to get comfortable in my skin, and to a point where my life is coasting along on cruise control. During the day in my 'real' life I am a mum to 'the large child' Zane who is 14, and the 'small child' Trinity-Jewel who is almost 10. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I collect Black cats, and we currently have 4 furbabies that have as long and as complicated a story as I do... ill save you that 'tail' for another time..</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Im currently have about 100hrs of ink time invested into my skin, all black and grey and by the same tattoo artist... ill share snippets of those stories along the way, and if you choose to read those id be truly hunbled... just as much time, planning, dreaming and drawing have gone into them as actual time in the chair. One day when its my time to leave this earth, id like to think my stories will stay a little longer.. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am a Family Day care educator, who 5 days a week, or 55 plus hours cares for some amazing kidlets in my home, which my partner and I have spent a decade or more renovating, restyling, and renovating some more... I wont post about that part of my life much on here, but if you were interested in following my FDC journey you can head over to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/rockabyebabychildcare/">Rock-A-Bye Baby Early Childhood Education and Care</a> ...</span></div>
