Pirate Family Layout

Ahoy Crafters!
Arrrghh, and welcome aboard!   We be off...to meet the cutest little pirates you will ever see.  This is a quirky take on "family love from the past" theme of the mood-board. I added some faux metal chipboard embellishments like the chain, anchor, and rusty ship's wheel.  Let's celebrate family fun silliness. I hope you enjoy my Pirate Family Layout! The complete tutorial can be found HERE on The Robin's Nest Blog.

Used along with the Best Glue Ever and the No Clog Writing Cap, this tool allows you to perfectly control the application of glue so that you can add superb details to plain embellishments or apply a light coating of glue and cover an entire shape with foil.  The possibilities are limitless!  You can find the complete tutorial HERE.

    Dusty Attic Butterfly Layout

    I created this layout by applying a thick layer of texture paste and then pressing stamps into the design.  The large butterfly was a foam stamp and the smaller one was created with a Dusty Attic chipboard butterfly.  The chipboard was used as a tool to create the background and then I cleaned it off and saved for another project.  After the texture paste dried, I applied gelatos to create a blended background of lavender and pinks.
