Naked Leaky Shed Studio Veronica Johnson

Hi Veronica here today to share with you some Naked chipboard flowers.  Did I get your attention?  Good :)  I wanted to show you today that you do not always have to alter your chipboard.  They are perfectly cut to show the utmost detail and look pretty just as they are.

I used these beautiful Springtime Flowers and what is clearly one of my favorites the watch parts.

Notice the fine detail in the chipboard.  I wanted to make some natural, rustic tags.  At least that is what I had in mind when I started.  I knew I wanted to add burlap and fabric, then I added some lace and the whole look changed.

 

 

By adding the lace - I felt my tag was more "shabby", so I went with it and added flowers, jewels and of course some white paint.

 

I was in the "zone" so I went ahead and made a second tag with the same color scheme; except this time pronounced the yellow rather than the green.

 

 

 

 

Thank you for stopping by today, and remember to try out Leaky Shed Studio.

BoBunny and Leaky Shed Studio Team Up Fa La La

Its Veronica here and just want to say that I am definitely in the mood for Christmas.  My Christmas tree is up, my presents are wrapped and yes, my cards are sent.  

I really enjoyed making this layout with BoBunny and I loved using BoBunnys new products especially their new glitter paste. Today I am excited to share a layout I created for our SWAP using Leaky Shed Studios Poinsettia Corner  and also the Moroccan Border Chipboard.  I chose the BoBunny Christmas Collage Collection for my layout. 

Poinsettia Corner Chipboard

Moroccan Border Chipboard

The BoBunny Christmas Collage Collection inspired me to make a layout with a shabby vintage feel to it.

I used BoBunnys glitter paste, and copics to make my Poinsettia Chipboard shine

I stenciled some Art Anthology paint and painted my Moroccan Border with shades of brown to match my stencil pattern.  Then I used lots of BoBunny glitter gold paste and sprayed some silver mist on my page

I also added the gold glitter paste to my flowers.  Does it show I really LOVE the BoBunny glitter paste?

To give my layout that vintage shabby look, I distressed my paper

I hope you enjoyed my layout as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Happy Scrapping and dont forget to leave us a comment and like our FB page.

Create Home Decor Banners with Leaky Shed Studio

Hi its me  Veronica also known as Kitsnbitscraps.  Today is my first post here on the Leaky Shed Studio Blog and I am so excited  to be a part of this fabulous company and a Design Team member.

A little bit about me, I LOVE chipboard!  Leaky Shed Studio has so many to choose from.  I know that you will find what you need - no matter the theme of your layout, card, tag or album.  Speaking of albums, I love to make them but I have been asked numerous times to make some layouts and other altered items.  So for today I am sharing this pretty banner with my favorite inspiring words - Create!

I used the Pennant Banner along with the Fancy Lower Case Alphabets.

Below are some step-out photos of my process in creating this pretty banner.  Banners are easy and so fun to make - they make G R E A T gifts.  I just made two for a wedding and a brides luncheon.

First ... I painted my chipboard using regular acrylic black paint

Then I covered the pennants with pretty paper ...

I wanted the ruffle chipboard to be different so I added some black glass glitter with glue ...

 

 

 

Turned out chunky - I like chunky and bonus its glittery.  Next I used my lower case alphas and painted them white

 

 

 

And repeat .... more glitter

 

 

I used alcohol inks on the "garden butterfly" and the "Butterfly on Garden Sprig" to color in the chipboard.  I also added a touch of acrylic paint for highlights.  Then I embossed the pieces with clear embossing power.  So pretty ...

 

 

 

 

 

I enjoyed sharing with you today, and I have some layouts planned for the coming months.  I hope you enjoyed my pennant banner; thank you for stopping by.

heart and home Mothers Day Leaky Shed Studio

Ive been contemplating a home/family themed mini album--wouldnt that be a fine thing for Mothers Day?  Leaky Shed Studio has a delightful assortment of chipboard perfect for a home/family themed project;  here are some Ive been considering incorporating:

Love this rocking chair.  Youll find it in the New Born section in the Leaky Shed Store, along with an adorable Baby Carriage,,Baby Crib, and Rocking Horse. However, when I think of a rocking chair, I also think of sitting out on a front porch visiting, or quilting--so many possibilities!

The same with this super cute Vintage Bike:

Bicycles always make me think of home, and children, but maybe thats just me--there are plenty of other possibilities . . .

(Even more cute, with a little color!)

When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future of the 

human race.

A wonderful Thursday to you!

Altered Clock with Leaky Shed Studio Chipboard by Tracey Sabella | Garage shed plans free

Altered Clock with Leaky Shed Studio Chipboard by Tracey Sabella

Its Tracey here to share an altered clock I created featuring gorgeous Leaky Shed Studio chipboard. This is a gift for a sweet friend who will be getting married in June. Her grandparents were an important part of her life. She wanted a special memento to display representing their presence on her wedding day. 

Tips and Techniques

Heres a photo of the inside of the clock. I adhered the photo and elements to the back panel which I had gessoed, covered with crackle paste, then colored with Lindys Stamp Gang mists.

Ive used the gorgeous Clock #2 (small) behind Mandys grandparents photo. I had extra teal mist in my craft mat and rubbed the clock across the splattered mist to color. When the mist was dry, I rubbed with several colors of metallic paint in teal and gold.

The Leaky Shed Spring Butterfly (small) comes with three sweet butterflies per set. Ive heat embossed this one with Fran-tage Aged Ivory embossing enamel, then lightly on the edges with Iced Enamels turquoise Relique (embossing) Powder. I stamped and die cut the love sentiment layered as the butterfly body.

Dont Mandys grandparents look so happy and in love?

I trimmed down the Leaky Shed Studio Harja Flower Eins flourish and colored it with Lindys Stamp Gang mists. Layering once color over another results in the color variations seen on the flowers. I adhered several burlap flowers around the flourish since Mandys using burlap in her wedding decor.

The clock was painted with several coats of gesso then using a palette knife to apply crackle past to the surfaces of the clock. Here I was looking for a peeling paint effect. I brushed with watered down mists to color.

The natural topper for this sweet clock would have been a heart flourish, however, one of Mandys favorite childhood memories with her grandmother was counting birds, so I just had to use this charming Leaky Shed Studio Bird Branch chippboard. Ive painted the piece with white gesso, then brushed on several shades of Lindys mists to color. The butterfly is created just like the one previously described, then centered with another of the tiny burlap flowers.

Heres a side-view giving you another angle of these sweet chipboard pieces!!

Thanks for stopping by today!!

I hope youll try Leaky Shed Studio Chipboard

on your next altered project!
