Happy Daks! Natalie May.: Lindy Love

Hi there – I'm over at Lindys today, sharing a few of my favourite projects that I have
created over the last 12 months. I am super passionate about Lindy’s products and love teaching, creating and doing demos with them here in Australia.

Let me tell you about a few of these projects…

Here in Australia we have a fabulous scrapbooking magazine called Scrapbooking Memories and each year they hold a competition where 10 winners are given the title of ‘Master” for a 12 month period … this year I was fortunate enough to be one of the ten and “Perfectly Content” & “Beautiful Girl” are two of my winning entries.

“Perfectly Content” is showcasing a 5×7′ photo and is using my fave colors from the Lindys collection … Tibetan Poppy Teal, Hydrangea Blue & Lucky Shamrock Green plus a few more shades of blue & green.

“Beautiful Girl” has been created using an upcycled product – I created this project using 3mm plywood for the background, Gel Medium through a stencil then a combination of pinks and purples over the wood. I then used dress patterns, string and tape for the base of the page along with gesso, crackle medium and Lindys Sprays & Magicals. I used Bodacious Blush, Magnolia Magenta Gold, Pretty in Pink Pink and Sweet Violet Purple Teal,

These next 3 projects were created especially for Scrapbooking Memories Magazine as part of my Masters publishing commitments.
Using Graphic 45 papers, I created this page of my Pop but I wanted to enhance the papers by flicking on some Lindys. I used a combination of Pirates Plunder Gold, Bachelor Button Blue, Silhouette Silver and Blazin Black for this page. I love the sense of depth it gave.

This next page is one of my favourites – I’m sure the photo is the reason …so much love……
I created this page using Mixed Media cardstock for the base then used a combination of Sprays & Magicals to get the look I was after – keeping in the pink & red tones creates a gorgeous romantic feel I think. I used Blazin Black, Ramblin Rose Pink, Peony Scarlet Red andPearlescents.

I think I have scrapped this next photo at least 10 times … I love this photo of Jessica taken some years ago and when I was creating this page with the Heartfelt Creations dies and Stamps, I knew it would be perfect. I stamped the images onto watercolor paper, coloured them with a wash of magicals and then die cut them using the matching dies.
The simple gorgeous layers make this page seems simple and pretty. I used Bells of Ireland Green and Peony Scarlet Red from Prairie Wildflowers and Mango Mania from Caribbean Cruise .
