Photo Tutorial by Tanya Dudkina
{Design Team 'Moment To Shine'}






Hello fellow scrappers! It's Heather McMahon back with you today to welcome
you to another photo tutorial in our Design Team 'Moment To Shine' series. 

Today we have a stunning layout by Design Team 
member Tanya Dudkina from 
Russia. Tanya used our current challenge HERE as her inspiration. Tanya is 
sharing a photo tutorial showing how she made her bold yet so beautiful project.


Tanya was inspired by the pinks and blues, the bling & the glamorous feel. 


Let's learn a little about Tanya....


"Hello everyone! My name is Tanya Dudkina & I live in the wonderful city of 
Saint-Petersburg, Russia, with my hubby & with my scrapbooking 
everywhere. I love everything about creating original & interesting things. 
I can't stop testing new products, trying new techniques & making 
new projects - these make me really happy. 

I also have my perfect job - I'm an online scrapbooking educator. This brings 
me so much joy & so many new friends & emotions. I'm thankful for 
each day of my life & you can see a little part of it in my blog here,
 my Instagram here & my Facebook page over here

So let's see what I have prepared today for you. I'm going to show 
you how you can easily make a bright & sweet project."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------




1. Choose your papers & find some tissue paper - this is a perfect embellishment if you 
want to make light & puffy layers. I chose a diagonal print for the background 
layer, then some pink & starry tissue paper &, lastly, a floral printed paper on top.





2. Now glue everything together, folding the tissue paper as you go. Cut the wavy edge on the top layer with a Spellbinders border die for a gorgeous finish.





3. Add layers using a variety of products. I used paper cuttings, doily die-cuts, washi tape & my new favorite embellishment - colorful juice straws. The straws sit in the folds of the tissue paper perfectly. Use foam adhesive tape to make each layer a bit higher than the previous one.





4. Make a little wreath by forming wire into a circle, then wrap with raffia & add flowers.





5. Arrange your photo, some flowers & other embellishments inside the wreath. 





6.  Add fine chipboard & small details like butterflies around the wreath cluster. 
On the other side add the title & some washi tape.





7. Use tiny pieces like sequins & wooden shapes to add in extra details. I love these!





8. Create a confetti effect with your sequins by placing them so they appear 
to "fall down" from the top of the layout. 





9. Decorate the straws with a trim & subtitle. I used wooden letters. This is my favourite part!





10. Let's add some shine! Glue glitter onto the alphas with 
Ranger Glossy Accents & remove the excess.





11. Take a small brush & add some random splashes of your favourite acrylic paints.
I also covered the title with glitter after that.


The finished project.


Tanya's layers are a striking feature of her work.


A subtitle on paper straws - how clever!


Tanya has used a stunning combination of colours & elements on her page.

Supplies list:

Paper - Crate Paper & Tilda 
Tissue paper

Photo Tutorial by Marianne Johansson
{Design Team 'Moment To Shine'}





Hello SATW friends! It's Heather McMahon back with you today to welcome
you to another photo tutorial in our Design Team 'Moment To Shine' series. 

Today we have an amazing art journal page by Design Team 
member 
Marianne Johansson from Norway. Marianne used our current challenge 
HERE as her inspiration.

Marianne is sharing a photo tutorial showing how she made her eye-catching project.


Marianne was inspired by the glamorous shoes, the bling around the 
lady's ankle &, of course, the colour pink!


Here's an update on Marianne:


"Hello everyone! My name is Marianne Johansson & I live in 
Hamar, Norway, with my hubby & 2 teenage daughters. 

I started scrapbooking in 2005, documenting my daughters' lives 
through photographs & layouts. I later began experimenting with art 
journaling & mixed media projects. My happiest times in my craft 
room are when I can play with art journals just for fun. 
I love it when my fingers are coated with ink & paint! 

You can find my blog here , Instagram here & my Facebook page here"

..................................................





1. To create the background, first gesso the page then add a coat of 
gel medium. Mix watercolour paint with water on a craft sheet.







2. Paint randomly onto the art journal page with a brush, letting the colour
run in places. Go over some areas a second time.






3.  Find some interesting images from magazines. Look for images 
that suit your theme like the glamorous ones I used.






4.. You may need more than 1 cutting tool to fussy-cut your images. I used scissors 
for the large photo & a craft knife for the rings. Make sure you use a
 good cutting mat to protect your work surface when using a craft knife.






5. Add some gesso through a stencil & some splatters with 
the watercolour mixed with water.







6. Use gel medium to glue 2 of the rings on her eyes. I love 
making funny statements on my pages!




7. When everything is dry, use a black pen to add details & journaling. 

Add some bling & stamp some stars & your page is finished!



The gel medium dries to a clear, textural finish.


A little doodling creates extra interest on the background.


Search sites like Pinterest for suitable quotes.



These are the products Marianne used: 


Supplies list:

Art Journal - 
Dylusions 

 Watercolour Paint - Golden QoR
Gesso - Art Anthology
Gel Medium - Amsterdam

Stencil - Prima
Scissors & Star Stamp - Tim Holtz
Comfort Craft Knife - Ingvild Bolme, Prima
Black Pen - Pigma micron
Bling - Doodlebug Design
Spatula, brush & water



Please leave a comment for Marianne if you enjoyed her tutorial
& remember every comment you leave puts you in the running
to win our $50 FOLLOWERS' PRIZE from The Dusty Attic!
