IMAGINARIUM DESIGNS

my turn over at Imaginarium Designs Blog
AND 
there is a fabulous Competition for February 

to begin the year with ID, 
 I decided to do one masculine page and one feminine
  to demonstrate how versatile the Imaginarium chippies are .

masculine page 
"YOU"



I have created a slightly grungy page and on the chippies I have used three colored inks
to tone in with the papers.
first I inked with Rusty Hinge ( Tim Holtz) then added some Charcoal (kaiser)
 and finished odd with brick ( Versa Color)
the secret to this effect is I find to be quite random and quick with the inks.. 
not too deliberate or fussy
when layering the cogs
I kept turning them in different directions until I was happy
then secured them with a brad.
the cogs are one of my faves for boy pages.. love them


Feminine page
"MOMENTS IN TIME "



my Ella is such a feminine little girl .. so I have used lots of flowers with the chipboard
all the chippies are inked with (Versa color) Raspberry and Aubergine ( Kaiser) you may have to look closely at the images
to see the subtle difference in the shades on the leaves and flourish .
the trick I have used here is cutting up the flourish and the leaves to add interest ..
I arranged the flowers first then added the pieces of flourish and leaves where I wanted them..
the ID chippies are so versatile, as sometimes all I need is a small piece which adds the perfect finishing touch to a page .
the title ( love all the ID titles ) is inked and then stitched in place. I felt the title looked best vertical on this page
I love in scrapbooking that there are no rules !!!! If I want to put something sideways I can... LOL !!!
I love this photo of Ella playing with lipstick.

    I absolutely adore how you play with subtle touches achieving amazing effects with anything you create with. Both your pages have the same basic undertones of colours but are so different. Grungy and boyish in the first one and oh so delightful and feminine in the one with Ella and the lipstick. Just stunning Heather! xoxox

    Two such beautiful pages Heather, your style is unique. I love the ID designs and the words they do. They seem to take the colours you use so well. We have Papermania chippies over here but the colours you get aren't as vibrant as tours. Do you lay a gesso base first? Wish I could get them in the UK.
