WEEKEND

Good morning! Today I'm sharing a fun summer mixed media layout I created this morning for the Pinkfresh Studio Challenge! I decided to play with lots of happy colors and stencils to create a fun background for the layout. I absolutely love how this turned out!

Here is this month's challenge for Pinkfresh Studio.

For this layout, I used a few different patterned papers from a few different collections. I pretty much went through my Pinkfresh Studio stash and pulled out a few embellishments and papers that would make a fun summer layout. I'm amazed at how well everything works together so nicely. :) I added a few things from my stash here and there.

To create the background, I taped the  TCW743 Crazy Waves Stencil over white cardstock, taping the edges down with washi tape so that the stencil would not move while I was blending the variety of inks over the stencil using a blending brush tool.

I used several bits and pieces of embellishments from my stash to embellish this layout. I love when I can use up those odds and ends embellishments that have been sitting in a box for like ever... I cut the 10, camera and smiley face from patterned paper. :)

I cut the #bestoftheday sentiment from patterned paper and tucked it behind photo at the bottom. The triangles were cut from a few pieces of patterned paper.

To complete the layout, I splashed some Raven Coloration Spray from Art Anthology all over the layout to break up the bright colors then I added the black and white ribbon to the tag.

Thank you so much for visiting today!
