GOOD VIBES/BRUTUS MONROE

Good morning friends! Last month, mom and I went to the American Craft Council to meet our friend Cindy for the very first time! I know Cindy from social media when she used to scrapbook. She was one of my favorite designers and today she is one of my favorite jewelry makers! You can check out Cindy's website, here.



To begin, I taped down the star stencil down on the far right-side of the cardstock. Then, I used a palette knife to cover the stencil with a variety Chroma Glaze. I was going for a whimsical background and I really like how this turned out. 


I should have added some tape along the edge to prevent the lines...but I covered it up by rubbing some glaze all around the layout. :) 


After the glaze was completely dry, I stamped the little hearts in black ink between the stars and glued down the gems to add a bit of sparkle.


Then I added a few die cuts from Vicki Boutin to embellish the layout. I love her die cuts so much and I think they look great with the stars!


Most of the time, I like to hand-journal on my layouts, but there was too much I wanted to write so I printed the journaling on paper instead and added it below the photo. I used a blending brush and ink to color a piece of white cardstock and then stamped the rainbow onto the paper and fussy cut it to use as an embellishment. I used the same technique for the shooting star and stamped the sentiment below the journaling.


What do you think? I just love the color scheme and overall feel of this layout!
