We have some absolutely beautiful scrapbook projects for you to see today !!
My first layout is based on the sketch. We have another multi-photo sketch. Here is the sketch.
Here is my take on the sketch. I turned it into a single photo layout.
For this layout, I used some white corrugated paper we got in a previous kit. If you don't have any, you can always use part of the box that your kit comes in. Save those boxes, they have many uses.
I did some masking and misting using the mediums kit. Plus I added a bit of random stamping. I have lots of layers built up under my photo. I cut the chipboard tag from the main kit, in half to use as 2 separate layers. My corner cherub was misted with both the coloringz and vibez from the mediums kit
In my floral cluster, I used the die of the month to cut the leafy vines. That die, oh it is to die for. LOL!! For the chipboad title, I used the black diamond stickles and the shimmerz inklingz again. I randomly put the stickles on the chipboard, not covering it all. Once dry, I brushed on the inklingz then wiped some of it off with a baby wipe.
For my last layout. I went with more layers and more mixed media. Once again, I used lots of layers under my photo. I did some more masking and misting behind and below the photo as well. More random stamping too.
I gave my chipboard (from my stash) the same treatment as above, but used a different color inklingz. We got some gray in a earlier kit and it matched so well that I used it here. The gorgeous butterfly in the corner came from my fellow DT member Angelica's Etsy store.
I altered the mason jars from the project tech kit.Here is the shabby chic one I did a video on.
Here is my video from on the mason jar.
