Are you looking for a fun challenge? Check out Canvas Corp Brands' February Challenge. I love the color scheme! It's so different from my normal color preferences...but I am always up for a challenge. Also, 7 Dots Studio has a Mood Board Challenge this month. I decided to combine them since I was using products from both companies! I decided to scrap this photo of my mom and her boyfriend. I may frame it and give it to her! :) She loves that... I make pretty things for her all the time.
I love this sheet of patterned paper from 7 Dots Studio so I pulled this aside so I can use it on this layout. I used a pair of scissors to fussy cut the flower out of the paper.
I used a paint brush to brush the mist onto the patterned paper. Then I used a baby wipe to blend the mist in a bit. I know it doesn't look great...but the background isn't done yet. :)
Then I used some acrylic paint by Bad Girls Couture to blend in with the mist to break down the blue a bit. I simply scraped the paint across the mist using a card.
Here's what it looked like once the paint was added to the base.
Then I covered the base using a large stencil from The Crafter's Workshop. I used a palette knife to smear the white molding paste over the stencil as lightly as possible to avoid smearing the stencil...which I still did, but that's OK.
Isn't this pretty? I like how pieces of the mist and paint shows behind the flowers.
I sprayed the tag and lace trim using the mist.
I added a touch of red to the tag then added the lace to the tag.
I like using Yes Paste when creating a mixed media layout because it gives me more flexibility... the paste does not dry fast which is what I want so I have time to move pieces here and there and tuck more layers in between the papers if needed.
Here is a closer look at the cluster of embellishments. I fussy cut the flower then added the button and pearl. I used a butterfly stamp from Jillibean Soup to create my own die cut butterfly.
I added a few more embellishments here and there. And the notebook paper. I love the look of notebook paper on a vintage layout. It really makes the layout pop.
Thank you for visiting today! What challenges have you participated recently? I'd love to see some of your work!
