Mandy’s July Creations
Happy CHA everyone!
Mandy popping in from Australia to say Hello and share a couple of my newest creations.
Starting off with a card full of sunshine and smiles, misted with pretty Lemon Zest, Crushed Shells and SWAK and accented with a little Tuttu Pink Glam, a bright and cheerful combination.
Love layering mist colors across each other to see how they blend.
Lots of folks altered clocks a while back and that was fun but recently I saw a personalized clock in a fancy boutique with a very fancy price tag to match, thought hmmm, I have seen that lighthouse and very similar sandcastle and quickly ran home to whip one up.
Glimmer chips are perfect for altered clocks, they are slim enough to fit but with the addition of some bright colors can really make a statement. The only clock I could find had a black plastic frame that really did not look beachy enough. The frame got a rustic make over with a little plain acrylic paint and just before the paint set, misted spots with denim blue and dragged it though for a weathered look.
Altered books are a favorite of mine and a good excuse to play with new color combinations from the summer range starting with water slide and hula hoop on the background.
The tailored tag was misted with crushed shells and tutti fruitti with a touch of tutu pink glaze on the mistable die cut and finished with squirt of old lace.
Experimented with stamping using a dragon fly mist mat and hay ride glam to create a raised shadow that I stamped into. I added more textures using the hula hoop mist to color up texture paste streaked onto the bottom of the page with a little fan brush for grass.
Sharing new creations with you makes my day, feel free to ask questions or for more details.

Hello OMG… I am a novice to scrapbooking. I started with the Shop Hop which is not yet over but almost every store I went to had some Tattered Angels product that would just catch my eye! I totally have fallen for your product and love the way it looks! Ha now I have to figure out how to use it all and create pages with it all. The last store I went to the girl there showed me a little book for a class for Tattered Angles that they are doing this month and I loved it! I signed up for the class and am excited!!! I hope after the class I will have ideas for all the product I bought! So I just want to say great job love it all and keep posting pictures of your art so I can be inspired, Thanks!!!!
