Hi everyone,
Today I am popping by to share a layout I created for the Kitaholic Kits ANZAC Day Cyber Crop. My challenge to everyone was a "Mixed Media" challenge. Here's a look at my challenge criteria...
I decided to delve into some of my previous kits and pull together some items for my layout. I chose to document a photo that was taken at my retreat at the end of 2019 with the girls from my table on theme night. I so love these girls and cannot wait to get together with them again later in the year.
I began my layout with my background, using a sheet of white cardstock and some acrylic paints. I used a dusky pink Kaisercraft one that came in a previous Kitaholic mixed media add-on kit, along with a Mont Marte dimensional paint and a couple of Dina Wakley paints from my stash. I used a combination of silicone spatula, rubber brayer and my fingers to apply the paints to the page, with each one giving a different effect and level of coverage.
I then used a grey ink and a brick pattern stamp from Viva LasVegaStamps to add some extra interest to my background. I also added splatters using Dina Wakley Gloss Sprays.
The patterned papers I used were a mix of Vicki Boutin and Heidi Swapp. I cut, tore, and distressed the pieces to create layers under my photo, adding a grey paper doily from my stash. I also added frayed gauze for soft texture.
For my embellishments, I used a three fussy cut butterflies that I cut from a Vicki Boutin paper; and a mix of Vicki Boutin and Heidi Swapp stickers (both cardstock and clear). I particularly love using clear stickers over a mixed media background, as it still allows the layers underneath to show through.
For my journalling, I used my typewriter on a journal card from the Vicki Boutin cut apart paper. I finished off my page with some stamped phrases and a final splatter with some black ink.
You can watch my process video and see this page come together here:
That's all for today, thanks so much for stopping by. Until next time, happy scrapping! X
