Mixed Media Vintage/Grungy Cards by Sarah

Hi Meg's Garden friends! Sarah here today to share a set of three mixed media, vintage/grungy cards created using the English Rose Garden collection!  I just love the Cut & Create pages included in the Meg's Garden collections - they make it so easy to find a gorgeous image to act as the centerpiece for a card!

I created these cards using the 6x6 papers and bit and pieces of the 12x12 papers from the English Rose Garden Collecton. I also added in some pieces of doily, lace and flowers from the Meg's Garden Store. I used sparkling watercolours, black acrylic paint and white gesso from my stash to add the colour/splatters, as well as some flowers, sentiment tickets and microbeads as embellishments. Here are some close-ups!

Thanks for stopping by the Meg's Garden blog today!
Happy Scrapping!

2016 'English Rose Garden' Calendar by Liz Hocking

Hello Bloggers and welcome once again.

Don't know about you, but it sure has been a busy month for me with scrap booking and making
'off the page' projects for birthday presents.
One of them I am showcasing for you today.  With my daughter in law's mother's birthday coming up, I decided to look through my stash of wooden 'off the page' items and came across a hard wood calendar.  Well the news got even better when I was given the 'English Rose Garden' mini square pad (145mm), which would you believe was the perfect size for the calendar......no trimming needed.

For this front cover I have also used 'Cut & Create' basket that I have coloured with Copics, Meg's Garden metal, paper lace doilies  and ribbons.

I had fun putting together the rest of the calendar which included using Meg's Garden Metal Butterfly and Dragonfly and more metal.

On the September I have also used Designs Galore Butterflies.

I find that the 'cut and creates' are lovely to work with and perfect for small projects too.

Thanks for taking the time to look and I trust that you found some inspiration here.  To check out this collection and more please feel free to click HERE.

Until next time, happy creating........Liz

Childhood Memories Mixed Media Layout by Mabel Sim

Hi Guys!

This is Mabel here with my first blog post for Meg's Garden Design Team. I'm from Singapore, a small island country in Southeast Asia. Most of my projects involve Mixed Media and today I have a Mixed Media layout tutorial for you using Meg's Garden products from the English Rose Garden Collection.

I picked Paisley & Roses (P6432) as my layout base. I also really love the flourishes on Meg's Garden name card! So I decided to not waste it and fussy-cut out the flourishes for embellishment later.

I also picked out a couple of Meg's Garden products I wanted to use for embellishment later. I have the vintage rose tag cut out from Cut & Create (P6434) which I snipped it into half to make full use of this beautiful tag for layering. I also fussy-cut out the frame from Vintage Ornate Tags 1036.

I briefly arranged my embellishments and photos to determine the area I would like my mediums to go onto. 

I primed the patterned paper beforehand with clear gesso. I used 13arts Ayeeda Matte Coral and Lemon paints as well as Tim Holtz Distress Stain Spray in Tattered Rose and Milled Lavender to create the area I want to embellish later on. 

I wanted to bring out different textures and effects and stamping is a very good way to achieve visual texture effects. I used Prima Marketing stamps from Cigar Box Secrets Collections as well as Finnabair clear stamps with my Black Stazon ink pad. I chose Stazon as its permanent and the ink will not run when I use it more mediums on top of it. 

I continued to bring out more texture for the background by going over my stencils with modelling paste. I used Tattered Grid stencils from 13arts as well as Prima Marketing's stencil. 

While the modelling paste was still wet, I poured on some mica flakes from 13arts to create some sparkle! 

I also added Gold Glitter paint from 13arts as well as creating some splatter with diluted black gesso.

This is one of the trick I love to use when I need to stick alphabet stickers. I placed them on a ruler so I can gauge the length of the entire word, I can also shift them around easily to see where they fit better. Once I'm happy with the placement, I simply tilt my ruler and gently rubbed in those 'open' areas so they stick to the background.

And after embellishing my layout, this is the final look!

I diecut some leaves from Prima Marketing dies. I also tucked some laces as layering for added effect. 

Meg's Garden has got a wide variety of flowers to choose from. I used some of the mulberry papers flowers as they're awesome for altering. 

As mulberry papers are porous, inks can spread easily with water. So I just dipped my brush into Tim Holtz's Milled Lavender Stain Spray and brushed onto the flower near to the stamen. I then wet the areas I want the colours to spread to with water so the ink will flow. This creates a very natural looking flower. :)

More close ups looks of the layout!

That's all for my tutorial! Thanks for reading!

Hope you're feeling inspired by my tutorial.
