It seems like forever since I shared any new scrapbook layouts. I have been on a bit of a card kick here of late. I am thrilled to share a couple of new layouts created for Creating Keepsakes that feature ideas for using spray & specialty inks.
Creating Keepsakes (Club CK) has a new special issue hitting the newstands today: Tips & Tricks: Tools & Techniques. It is a super fun issue with loads for great ideas and inspiration.
Information on this issue, plus info. on how to subscribe can be found here.
I played with Maya Mists on the following 2-page layout. Love. Silver Plated Metallic Mist and Turquoise Metallic Mist are my favorites. :)

I added both the Maya Mists listed to the Silhouette die cut borders. I used the Silver Metallic first, then the Turquoise. I used just the turquoise to the cream paper florals by MM to make custom colored flower accents to perfectly match my layout. I used the Silver Metallic on just the edges of the background paper on both sides of the layout for a subtle sheen and edge definition. I also used the Silver Metallic on the title.

Next I played with the Smooch Inks by Clearsnap. These fun pearlized accent inks are great to stamp with, to add color to canvas or plastic with and more. Just be sure to give the ink sufficient time to dry. They are extremely slow drying.

I die cut the butterflies from Ranger Sticky Back Canvas using the Sizzix Beautiful Wings Embosslits die, then I painted each with Smooch inks. I let them dry overnight before handling. I painted the Gold Lame Smooch ink on the back of the clear plastic word and also let it dry overnight before handling. Finally I painted the ink directly onto the American Crafts & Hero Arts clear stamps and used it to stamp my images directly on paper.
