1 Layout 3 Ways!

Layouts.  They can be as simple or as complicated as you wish to make them and today I have one to show you that does just that :)

Firstly I gathered the papers I wanted to use and them the embellishments that would match, and then started playing with how I wanted them all to flow across the page.  For this page I kept it simple - I just created layer upon layer, with the photo popped up on chipboard to provide a bit of dimension instead of being completely flat.

For the second stage I inked the edges of all the layers, defining them more and making them pop out from the page.  I stamped around the edge with the Stitches stamp as well, and then added brads and chipboard stickers to give even more layers.

The third stage was so much fun!  I haphazardly painted pearlescents over the background - I love how you don't have to wait for this dry! - and then randomly stamped my background.  Distressed muslin was then added to finish it off.

The Memory word is part of the new laser cut chipboard range.  To give that two toned effect I have first painted it with gesso and then two coats of pearlescents.  Lastly I inked the bottom half of the word with black ink to help it stand out more form the chipboard sticker underneath.
