It's my turn today on the blog. I have three layouts to share with you today. I was hoping to share some projects with the newest collection, but I haven't received my box yet, so I'll have to wait until next month.
It doesn't matter, I still love older collections.
Giggle
My first layout features the beautiful Frolic collection. I used the Friendship paper. I just can't believe how cute those little birds are. I think I have 6 or 7 copies of this paper! I love it!
I used modeling paste and a stencil to add texture on my background. Then, I glued thorn doilies with gel medium. Over that, I adhered dry wall tape. When everything was dry, I added my colors.
I layered parts of the Damask Panel underneath my picture and my flowers. I covered it with Snow embossing powder. While the powder was still hot, I sprinkled a little bit of Bonny Blue embossing powder and melted it again.
My title piece, part of the «Funny, Giggle, Smile» set, received the same treatment. I adhered it on top of my picture.
Famille
My second layout is more subtle. I used the Song paper from the Timeless collection. I love its colors.
My composition is based on the Aloha Flowers chipboard, which I painted with white gesso and covered with mist.
I also added the Chelsea Vines, that were coloured the same way.
You can see, in the background, that I used the Vintage Edges stamp with brown ink to add texture to my layout.
My title piece, part of the French Words set, was also altered with mists over gesso.
Special
My last layout features on of my favorite pictures of my daughter. Isn't she cute?
My background paper is called Newsworthy and it is from the Autumn Anthology collection. I chose it for its neutral colors. I added a little bit of color to the bird above, to help him match my layout. A light touch of white gesso helped to see all the details.
My layout is based on the Chelsea Medallion chipboard piece. I LOVE this piece! I embossed it with three colors of embossing powder: Fern, Cerulean and Azure.
To add a bit of interest below my picture, I layered two pieces of the Leafy Page Accents over my medallion. They were embossed with the same three powders as well as white gesso.
Lastly, my title piece, part of the «Perfect, Adorable, Special», was left raw, as it helped to bring the background color back into the layout.
I hope my layouts inspired you. Have a nice crafty day,
Karine
