Together with Wilna Furstenberg

Happy Friday!  Our guest designer for this month, Wilna Furstenberg, is back sharing another beautiful layout with us this week.  We are just loving the lightness and texture of her work and we think you will too.  Here she is with all the details:

Hi there! Wilna here for the second layout I created for Neat and Tangled!

I used the “Together” stamps and I stamped the title on a transparency and fuzzy cut it out. 

I also stamped some phrases on plain paper and made little “ribbons” out of it. I love word stamps again for the text and texture. 

Watch the little video where I show you the quick technique to make a background to your page. The flower illustration is from a little Art Journaling Class I have available on iheartstudio.ca called Art Journal Series 1.

Thanks for watching!

And a big thanks to Wilna for being our guest this month.  To see more from Wilna, be sure to follow her on her social media channels here:

Square Thoughts with August Guest Designer Wilna Furstenberg

Hi friends!  It's Friday and our August Guest Designer Wilna Furstenberg is sharing her first project for the month.  She's highlighting our Square Thoughts set this week, and we're loving how seamlessly she incorporates stamping/dies in her layouts.  Here's Wilna with all the details:

I am so happy and thankful that I got to work with the beautiful Neat & Tangled Square Thoughts stamp set. I picked this set because I love text and for the beauty of the simplicity of the words. As simple as that!

I embossed the speech bubble (square) and the little shapes with gold embossing powder and used the matching dies to “cut” them out. 

For the background I stenciled with Light Molding Paste and painted over it with watercolors for a very simple background. I used one of my own illustrations as an embellishment. 

Watch the 12 minute video where I chat about my process a little bit and where I show you how simple and easy a mixed media background is to make. 

Next Friday, I will show you another page with the same idea but a different twist.

Thanks for watching!
Wilna
