NOTHING BUT SMILES/STUDIO FORTY

Good morning, friends! I’m super excited to share this pretty mixed media layout I created using the Bloom Stamp set from the Essentials release! 


To begin, I splashed some watercolor ink all over the watercolor paper. I used watercolor paper instead of regular white cardstock because it really brings out the ink colors…they are so vibrant and pretty!

 


Next, I stamped the flowers onto the paper being mindful where the matted photo will go. In fact, I printed the 4x6 photo and moved it around the layout to determine where I wanted it to go before stamping the flowers.


Then, I used alcohol markers to color in the flowers. Aren’t they beautiful?! I think I’m going to make some cards with these beauties. 

I used a scrap piece of paper to color on to see if the colors look nice together befogging coloring them in on the main layout.

I didn’t want to overdo it with embellishments because I wanted the focus to be the photo with the stamp work, therefore I only used a few stickers to help frame the photo.
