I made four layouts this week. I should have made six, to catch up on the week I was on vacation but hopefully I can make it up by creating another four next week!
Here is my layout share for this week:
I used yet another cut from Bea Valint, which are amazing and free!
I started with a white 12x12 cardstock. I really want to avoid using white for my background for a while. I prepped my cardstock with gesso since I was going to drop a lot of watercolor on it.
I really need some new spray mist. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm using some Studio Calico spray mist and while I love them, I want some more colors. I have 10 currently! If I am using the packaging technique, I usually use spray mists because they are so easy to work with. The packaging technique is where you add some water and watercolor (or spray) onto some acetate, or clear packaging, and apply it directly onto your background.
If you are trying to figure out what I am talking about, Kristina Werner does awesome tutorials using these on cards. I just use it for a much larger surface.
After adding color to my background, I focused on my large die-cut and backed it with various patterned paper matching the colors in my background.
For my photo, I chose a photo from Seattle! We went this modern museum ( I think it was formally called the EMP museum) and they had a scream booth. I absolutely love this photo .. so much! It's silly and it's fun and I want to make several layouts focused around it.
I always back my photo with some layers. I applied some fringed paper behind my photo then a added some patterned paper from the We R Memory Keepers "Flower Girl" collection. I also applied a few stickers and a paper clip from Doodlebug. I want to use a paper clip on everything! I also added two different frames on each side. Chipboard frames are another one of my faves. To finish it off, I added some tangled string behind this photo. I just discovered this when I saw Paige Evans doing it on one of her layouts and I thought I would try it! It is great for pops of color!
I added my title with some black Thickers and my journaling as well, and I was done!
I hope you enjoy seeing my layout shares! I absolutely love writing them!
Until next time,
