3Quarter Design Team Projects - Imagine If NZ

I have been extremely busy this year with work and with teaching classes at SENZ and FYI adt shows here in New Zealand.  I have also been making projects for Imagine If using their new 3Quarter Design kits. You can see the full range of kits on their website 3Quarter Design kits.  

These kits have been out together using high quality paper and chipboard. The first two projects I made using the Mechanical Melange collection. 







This kit contains the following:

• 7x Printed Single sided 30.5cm x 30.5cm or 12x12inch themed Papers
• 7x Printed Single Sided 30.5cm x 11cm or 12x 3.8inch Strips featuring matching photo matts, borders and additional elements that can be cut and layered
• An assorted collection of coordinating Imagine If chipboard pieces
• The back cover of the kit includes some large photos of a set of 5 scrapbook pages that have been created using the collection

The first project I made was a covered ring binder.  I used stencils, stamps, embossing paste, and inks on the front covers, the spine and back cover.  

I then made a collage using a piece of corrugated card, some of the chipboard piece from the collection which I painted and inked to give a rusty look, some metal cogs and a cabachon to finish it off.  I also used a quote from the collection.

On the inside covers I glued paper and created pockets. I then created three dividers with a pocket on each side, using the various printed strips and elements included in the collection.

The second project using this collection is an art journal made from an old book cover and utilises the chipboard elements from the collection.

I covered the book cover with tissue paper, which I painted brown.  I then stamped the cover with various texture stamps. I then used gel medium through a stencil to give more texture.

I painted and ahdered the chipboard.  I then created signatures from wet and dry cartridge paper and various weights of watercolour paper which were then sewn into the book cover.  

The next project is made using the Past Treasures collection.
