hello everyone!
Nathalie back today with a new layout that focuses on a few of Vicki's Artful Technique Prompts to create this layout. As it is my norm, i start with no plan in mind, my only idea was to pick the Circles and Cut it Up prompts and go from there. Once i pulled some of Vicki's products it all came together super easily.
This page was built mostly with layers of mixed media for both the circles and the background. Let's get started:
I used waterproof ink (staz-on, memento, or archival ink) to stamp a few images along a column of a pre-made mixed media paper. I used different color inks and chose stamps from three of Vicki's collections.
Next, i used a stencil brush and some texture paste to create a circle impression on top of the stamped images. I set this aside to dry completely.
A mix of Sugared Strawberry Powdered Pigment and Iridescent glaze was diluted and then splattered on the page. This was set to dry completely, then i used a set of circle dies to create the circles for the page.
For the background of the page, i created a watercolor background using Blueberry Pie Pigment powder and water. I used the kissing technique and splatters to complete the background.
Once the watercolor dried, i used Rose Gold glaze, the same circle stencil and stencil brush to add a bit of color and texture to the background. Though this dries quickly due to the thin glaze layer, i made sure it was completely dry before building the page.
I clustered the circles on the watercolor background, and used dimensional adhesive to attach the circles so that they create dimension on the page. Along the way, i added a few stickers and phrase embellishments so that they repeat the pink color of the circles and shape of the picture.
To finish the page, i added the title (the circle ephemera piece under the picture) and connected the two areas of watercolor in the page with the chipboard banner and phrase sticker. I love how this came together,and have created a video with the process video.
Remember to check Vicki's products, there is an infinite number of possibilities when you mixed the products and Vicki's Artful Techniques.
As always, please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions on how this came together.
