Hello my friends!! Happy Wednesday!!! It has been a little bit since my last post. Crazy travel and teenagers is all I can say. Life gets busy but the mixed media art from the Vicki Boutin Design Team has still been pouring in and this beauty from Jana is OUTSTANDING!!! I am totally in love with this one.
Take a look at what Jana has created and make sure to follow the link to her process video to see how it all came together...
Hi and hello, welcome back, Jana here with a fun new layout to share. I love to create dimensional things on my Layouts and so I had a look into the Silhouette Store and grabbed a CutFile from a Wreath I really liked. Looked for some patterned Papers and let my Cameo cut aaaaallllll the leaves, and believe me, there was a lot of!
I limited myself to a few with of the colors. I wanted to have it almost monochrome… the Watercolors for the Background, the Wreath and the finishing Elements; all in green and blue tones.
This is what all of leaves looked before I started to create that layout.
I used my favorite Mixed Media Paper for my background, the Foundation paper! I added a LOT of water to it and “kissed” it with color on a piece of plastic. I love how the paper is handling all the water without getting curled up or any kind of damage.
Look at this; it reminds me of a sky full of clouds or the ocean. I used my heat tool for drying but also grabbed a paper towel to soak up some of the extra colors in the corners.
Once everything was dry and ready to go I started with building the wreath on the background. This took me a while but totally worth the time. I glued the pieces together so that I was able to move it around as one big piece, without having to worry about it falling apart again.
The picture (I changed it a few times during the process) shows my hubby and my little one. I love this photo. But you can also see some of the stamped circles behind the wreath. Have not mentioned it yet, right?! I stamped with the Circle Stamp Set and the Watercolors some circles behind the wreath. I really love how that worked and looks!
On this point I was sure that my page was done! I´ve added Watercolor Stickers, fussy cut some of the Butterflies out (12x12 Paper – Social Butterfly), grabbed some Glitter Foam Hearts and the Word “my” , two pieces from the “All the good Things” Frame pack. Oh and I´ve added a lot splatters too.
But nope, I changed my mind – way too much this time – and added more details and more DIY Elements.
But now I am done and happy with it! Love the pinwheels… I added some of the Enamel Dots from Finishing Embellishments to the middle of each of them and look how pretty they are…
I also have a little Process Video for you to watch - Process Video
