Heidi Swapp Color Magic and Distress Stains

I've been experimenting with Heidi Swapp's Color Magic and different products to use on these wonderful papers.  I LOVE using Tattered Angels Glimmer mist products, Tim Holtz distress stains and inks.  Another product I haven't played with in so long are watercolors.  Here's a layout I used using Heidi's Color Magic with Tim Holtz's distress stains Antique Linen and Sugar Spun.  Distressed the edges with Distress ink in Vintage Photo.  I also cut up the flower from her SUGAR CHIC line Beautiful.  I then painted over the flower with Tattered Angels Chandelier- my all time FAVE!  I stamped the date using vintage Heidi date stamp.  I cut up another color magic strip to place right below the photo and underneath that I used her BANNER DELIGHTS.   The "Dream Big" is from my Silhouette.  Love it!  I also distressed the manila tag and stamped it that's placed behind the photo for added journaling. 

I can't get enough of these papers!  So fun.  Hope this has inspired you to create a little COLOR MAGIC in your projects.

Here's what it looks like using the pearl watercolors and water brush.

Heidi Swapp chalkboard frame

We're slowly decorating my tween daughter's room and thought that a cute chalkboard frame is just what the room needed.

Here's a simple chalkboard frame my daughter painted and I just adhered Heidi Swapp's  beautiful DRAMA paper from her newly released SUGAR CHIC COLLECTIONS.  Dressed it up with some vintage Heidi Swapp embellies. I left room at the top so she can change out the picture...right now she's all about being in HAWAII.  This is to display on her bedroom wall and be able to write with chalk whatever sayings, thoughts or words she wants to express.  Love, love the chalkboard paint and such an inexpensive project.  Hope you enjoyed my project.  Stay tuned for more Heidi Swapp projects...next month she will feature for the whole month of April MEMORY FILES.   You will love it!
