Love YOU and some ###NEWS###

****Wahoo ***** How exciting!!! To say I am thrilled to bits to be starting Scrapping Outback as a Design Team member is an understatement! I’m delighted because, as most of you are already aware, Scrapping Outback has been my ‘home away from home’ since I started scrapbooking and attending classes in Mt. Cotton in 2003. Rachelle Minette is the talented owner who started “SO”

Rachelle is a renowned Scrap-booker and artist, including a successful Scrapbooking Memories Master in 2005.  I’m totally honoured to have been chosen to work alongside the other amazing talented artists in the 2014-2015 DT – thanks to Rachelle and her amazing DT for selecting my work.  When you get a chance, please pop over to the SO gallery to peek at the teams’ amazing work. 

So without further ado, I would like to share my first duty as DT – to inspire you in

Scrapping Outback’s August 2014 challenge “White with a Twist”

You can use either white cardstock with the added ‘twist colours’ or you can use printed paper with white and the twisted colours. The main idea is to ensure that white is incorporated with the ‘twisted colours’.   You many add brown or black for journaling, stamping or finer detail work but they are not to be used as a main colour. 

 For my inspiration LO, I thought I only had scallop black Manor House frames left in my stash, so I had to turn it green.

So I covered it first with white gesso and then the Extreme glitter over the top. I also covered all the chipboard pieces with gesso before embossing.

Then I discovered I didn’t have enough texture paste left to cover the page, so I mixed the white texture paste with some acrylic paint to make it go further:
