Hello Scrapbook Layout - for The Scrapbook Boutique

Good morning -Today I am up on the Scrapbook Boutique Blog sharing a layout I have created using the Cocoa Vanilla Collection  - Love Always.  This collection is just devine.  I have created a layout of my son and his girlfriend.

I have linked the products used on this layout at the bottom of the blog.

I started with clear gesso over the layout so when I applied the water colours they didnt soak into the paper.  I then used Matte Medium to lay strips of paper from the Love Always collection for a background.  On top of this I have used The Crafters Workship - Diamond stencil and texture paste. This how is looks so far

Excuse the photo - it was taken with my phone at night so has the light reflection on it.  You will see that at this stage I used some texture paste and stencilled the words Friends and Friendship.  This was hidden under my photo mat which I was ok with as the pink wasnt quite the right colour!

At this point I used Lindy Stamp Gang Magicals - T Bird Turquoise and Cotton Candy Pink for the background colours.

Here are some close ups:

I used Liquid Pearls - Petal Pink and Mint Green randomly around the layout.

I have used pieces from the Love Always collections to create the photo mat and embellishments.

Thanks for stopping by and until next time Happy Crafting.

DT reveal - "forever" layout - 7 Aug

Hi there, I am up on the Scrapbook Boutique Blog to share a layout that I created using the Cocoa Vanilla "Love Always" collection - and what a better subject than a wedding!

I started by applying crackling texture paste with two stencils - a Dusty attick flower stencil and Kaisercraft "love quarters" (please excuse the photo quality but it was done at night and the light was too reflective and/or not good enough).  Once the paste was dry I have applied a mixture of inks - Prima Colour Bloom - Cotton Candy, Prima Mica Powders - Lilac Opal Magic and Green Opal Magic, Perfect Pearls Mists - Perfect Pearl and Lindy Stamp Gang Magicals - Tilt a wheel teal, t bird turquoise and cotton candy pink.

I then cut up doilees by tearing the edges from the centre and then cutting into three pieces.  I have layered these on top of each other to frame around the photo. I have used Prima 3D Matte gel to adhere them

I have then added some of the Cocoa Vanilla Bitty Blooms, Bits and Pieces, Die Cut Ephemera and a flair button.

Some Close ups:

Thanks for stopping by, and til next time - Happy Crafting
