Day 3- Leaky Shed Studio and Authentique Paper

We hope you've been enjoying the projects by the Leaky Shed Studio and Authentique Design Teams! Today is our final day of inspiration. The Leaky Shed Studio design team would like to thank Authentique for participating in such a great swap with our chipboard and for all their beautiful projects! Be sure to check out both giveaways for your chance to win either or both of the awesome prizes! You will find the details are at the bottom of this post. Next up our final projects with the Smitten collection and our fun Valentines Chipboard pieces.

Love Banner by
Juliana Michaels

To create the banner Juliana used 6 pieces of the Pennant Banner and covered each one with a different paper pattern from the Authentique Smitten collection.
She used the back side of the same paper to cover the border piece on the top of each banner and then hot glued a length of pom pom fringe to the edge. The Large Type 4" alphabet letters were given a coating of glitter that she adhered using Ranger Glossy Accents.

Next, she created several mini collage pieces by mixing various Leaky Shed Valentine themed chipboard pieces with stickers from the Authentique collection. The chipboard was painted with a Gold Krylon Leafing pen. Once dry, she selected various stickers from the collection to create the collages and then adhered the glittered letters and collages to the front of each banner. A length of red tulle was used to connect each banner and she then used a piece of ribbon on each end to hang the banner.

She applied aluminum tape to the chipboard cover cut outs and detailed with an embossing folder and metal working tools before coloring with alcohol inks.

The wood word hearts were inked and tied to the rings with distressed ribbon.

Here are her pages with some close-ups.

To achieve a grungy masculine feel for her husband, Tracey applied corrugated board to some of the pages and then applied the Authentique Smitten papers using a gel medium transfer technique. She then distressed the edges and applied a variety of mediums to each page.

Day 2 Leaky Shed Studio and Authentique Paper Company

We hope your enjoying the projects so far! Day 2 brings more gorgeous inspiration from both teams! Be sure to check out the Authentique Blog for more Smitten Projects!
Today we are sharing some layouts and tags created with Leaky Shed Studio Chipboard and Authentique's Smitten Collection. Remember to participate in our giveaway...the details are at the end of this post.

Dedicated by

70th Wedding Anniversary by
Maggi Harding

Maggi created a layout of her parents 70th wedding anniversary. They have shared many Valentines! Here is Maggi's process.

I masked my base paper using a grunge heart mask. I layered several different papers from the Smitten collection and used cardboard between the layers to give my layout dimension. Over my photo I've placed our Leaky Shed Cherub's Heart and on the side is our Cupid firing his heart arrow. I've painted them both with Viva 3D stamp paint (carmine red and white).

The Smitten collection includes lots of great quotes and I chose one to go underneath my photo. I love that Authentique's Smitten includes so many little cards with quotes on them. It makes it so easy to make a card or tag, or add a quote, as I did, to your layout.

Leaky Shed Cherub's Heart

Next up is this fun tag that she giving her husband! Maggi's tags are usually irregularly shaped with things hanging off them and she likes to layer her tags. On this one, she layered the Double Hearts over our French Oval Frame and then I layered all that over a Spellbinders die cut oval frame. She treated both pieces of chipboard with Stampendous Embossing Enamels, Chunky White and Shabby Pink. Don't you love how embossing enamels give such a finished look to chipboard!

To Your Heart Be True by

Tiffany started out by adding some texture by using a mask and some modeling paste. She added some Manor House Creations flowers, lace. Leaky Shed Studio's Cupid chipboard piece was used for the cherubs heart. She treated it with some gesso and then some distress paint and then added some Shimmerz Texturez on the heart. The butterfly was painted with distress paint.

Card

Tiffany used embossing powder on the Cupid and then added some ribbon to give it a nice little touch.

Card #2

Using the Smitten paper collection Tiffany created 4 squares and layered the papers together to create a quilt effect.. She used embossing powder on the small ring chipboard piece.
