Delicious!

Hi Deb here today. 

Oh, do I like food. Most food but especially Thai and Vietnamese Food. Thankfully my husband does too because I cook it quite a bit. Our holidays tend to be a bit of a foodie taste trail and a gathering of recipes. 

This page represents the wonderful selection of meals we ate at a delightful little beach restaurant in Koh Samui. 

Below is a close up of the title Delicious which I colored with gel pens.

The Thai Food Circle word I left mostly raw and just colored the bowl. Again, using gel pens. When it comes to the best types of pens to use I have found that many of the cheaper 'supermarket' or 'department store' brands quite adequate. In fact my favourites are actually Aldi's metallic gel pens. With the advent of the coloring craze at present there are a huge range of all sorts of pens on the marker. Experiment - you may find some very pleasant surprises in the finishes achieved. 

Material used:

A2Z Scraplets Chipboard

Bella papers and tags

Bella Cardstock

Dymo tape

Ribbon

Until next time

Happy Scrapping

Travel photos

Hi, Deb back with you again with a few more holiday photos. 

I am constantly amazed by what I see in our travels around the world. Handcrafts always attract my attention. To see first hand what other craftspeople make is so inspirational.

 I used the Bamboo Shape 1 to tie the elements together. It is simply painted in a combination of 'camouflage' colors.

 My second page uses an older Scraplet for the title - Wet N Wild. The photo is from the day we arrived in Phuket during the Thai New Year or Water Festival Songkran.

 This chipboard went through quite a few alterations. First I applied a base coat of impasto mixed with blue paint and allowed that to dry. At that stage it was too bright and stark for the page. So I gave it a light stippled coat of white paint. Once this was dry, I finished it off with a coat of Dimensional Magic. Once dried it has a brilliant wet look to it.

Until Next Time

Happy Scrapping
