Lest we Forget by Anne

Hello, its Anne here!

With ANZAC day a few days away I have made two layouts using A2Z Scraplet "Lest We Forget"  and A2Z Scraplet Soldier Standing Shape.

My first layout uses A2Z Scraplet "Lest We Forget"

My second page has been made using A2Z Scraplet Soldier Standing Shape.

I've used specialty paper from Feature Art for both layouts. On the first layout, I painted my title in acrylic paint. I've used black for the words and crimson for the poppy. I applied some Prills to the center of the poppy and used glossy accents over the piece for shine.

To complete my page I have used die cut leaves, Heartfelt Creations poppies, Prills and hessian.

My second layout I made poppies from bookpaper. Once the paper was painted, the poppies were die cut and assembled. Prills were used for centres.

The A2Z Scraplet Soldier Standing Shape was painted with acrylic paint then distress ink applied.

I arranged the die cuts poppies around the photos.

This ANZAC day we will be remembering those who gave their lives.

Lest we forget

Hi there,

Caz here with you today to share some inspiration with you to keep those crafty fingers warm in our Aussie winter. First I have a page back from Anzac day.

Just a simple page as I wanted the whole focus to be the importance of the photos. I used the A2z scraplet Lest we forget Gr

To embellish the scraplet I just used a black and a red embossing powder. The red melted a lot darker than I would have liked.

 

 

Love these Flair that I managed to source from Studio fourteen40.

 

Next we have a page back from when I had my tattoo done in 2013.

 

 I have used the scraplet whose idea was this anyway?!

I just embellished the scraplet with a silver metallic embossing powder.

 

Just a few close ups to see the minor details in the page.

Just some simple bling, flowers and butterflies to finish the page off.

I look forward to sharing with you again soon.

Till then Happy crafting

 

Remembering our brave .........

 Hi, Deb here on the blog today. Earlier this year I designed some Military Scraplets and have been able to use them on a couple of pages of our trip overseas. The first one is an area in Vietnam where a network of tunnels had been set up during the Vietnam War.

I have used a couple of men from the set 'Army Men', a arrow from 'Arrows x 3 Small' and a piece cut from 'Bamboo 1'.

 

'Bamboo 1' is a long piece and I cut a section of it to fit the page.

 The Scraplets have been painted and once dry, I dabbed ink black paint around the edges to give them a more scruffy look.

I thought the 'Lest We Forget GR' title appropriate for this next layout. We visited the Australian (and Allies) cemetery in Thailand where the remains of many POW's who worked on the Burma Railway lie. It is an incredible and beautifully kept lawn cemetery, tended carefully by a group of Thais. This photo is the plot of the unnamed soldier.

The keep with the feel of the page, I lightly dabbed paint over the Scraplet and then using a darker charcoal/green ink, edged the chipboard to make it stand out a little more. 

Until Next time, 

Happy Scrapping

Deb
