WOW July Releases

Lots of July new releases to share with you before the August new releases hit the shelves. Always love WOW's amazing products, but July hit a brand new high, the designs were awesome.

OK first up, a fun layout of Mister 10 and his cousin. I decided I had nothing better to do at the time but cut out little people, seriously loose my mind sometimes LOL!

Happy Days 

Features Bloom Pack and Happy days dark wood veneer title.

I love the colour in the dark wood veneer, so a simple coat of Dimensional Magic was all that was needed

Parts of the Blooms were inked using numerous shades of green blended together, the tips were covered with Stickles and then a blob of Dimensional Magic to highlight the Stickles.

The next page is a gorgeous photo of the boy.

You rock

A few different chipboard pieces put together on this page to give it a real grunge feel.

The title piece You rock designed by Tarrah McLean has been base coated with ink, then the word 'you' has been finished with Glossy Accents and the 'rock' has a thick layer of Stickles.

Loved these Messy Arrow Frames. It was based with gesso first and then inked with a soft green. The Arrow parts have been coloured with a black texta and then a final coat of Glossy Accents.

My very favourite pieces on the page, the Large Plumbing Pipes. I have cut the chipboard in half to place either side of the photo and covered it with pinecone ink as the base. The playing again with my Metallic Rubs adding different colours and highlights to the chipboard. A final coat of Glossy Accents to finish.
