Hello friends! Leigh here, to share a new Color Kaleidoscope Layout, inspired by the epoxy Thickers in this new collection! When I saw the "Oh Snap" title, I got the idea to create a page about my love of making stuff, photographing stuff, and writing about that stuff I make. I just received the new Botanical Stencils and couldn't wait to use them on my first page.
I placed the stencil area in the center of the page, and used gesso as a paste with the floral stencil. After drying. I used a stencil brush to make the squares over the gesso with dry pink art crayon. I love both sides of the patterned papers, so I brainstormed a way to use them on a layout so you can see both sides at once.
You can cut the rectangle shape by hand, and then fold up the bottom portion, without smashing it flat, to get the look I created here. I stapled the center of each folded part with the Tiny Attacher. Use the Color Kaleidoscope Washi to adhere random strips of papers in a pleasing arrangement down the page, making sure to leave from in your design for the 2x2 photos.
From this angle, you can see the AC foam dots create a lot of dimension under the folded part of each rectangle. It was fun to add washi in the holographic pattern to areas that needed more neutral, and the pink and green washi to areas that needed more color. I made sure to have the black and white side of the paper rectangles spaced out around the page.
I added in three photos, nestled in between the layers with washi tape. Then, I added the Epoxy Thicker title, and Color Kaleidoscope Chipboard Thickers, Stickers, and holographic stars near the other embellishments on the layout. The little camera embellishments are perfect for a page about my passion for making stuff and photographing it.
You can see the finished page, and how many layers are folded up to highlight the patterns on the page. The layout was so quick and fun to put together, and I like that you can see so many pretty papers from the Color Kaleidoscope collection! Have you received your shipment of this beautiful collection yet? I can't wait to see what you create with it, and share it in Vicki's Mixed Media Facebook Community so we can all see the pretty!
