Perfect Together

Hi there Creatives!

The vibrant colors of the Aqua Medley Collection are one of my favorite Collections from Little Birdie Crafts! For this single page layout, I choose to use a white card-stock background with some mixed media elements. 

This is how I created the layout:

I adhered the white card-stock to one of the Aqua Medley patterned paper. I trimmed the card-stock 0,5" smaller. I painted the background first with Gesso and then added a little water color paint.

The Silver Sage Sparkle Paste is one of my favourite sparkle pastes, and so is the Script Stencil. I added the Sparkle Paste to add more layers to the background.

I toned the paper down with white Gesso to use as layering behind the photograph.

The flowers needed some sparkle too so I repeated the Silver Sage Sparkle paste on the stamens and toned the green leaves down with white Gesso.

The chipboard embelishment was painted with Terracotta Chalk Paint.

The different sized patterned paper layers was adhered with Gel Medium and I also used the heavy bodied Gel medium to adhere the Sisal behind the photograph. The photograph was raised on two layers of cardboard.

I created my own embellishments with glass domes and images from the patterned paper. I adhered the dome with gel Medium, let it dry and then cut it out with a small sharp scissor.

The small butterflies was fussy cut from the Aqua medley embellishment page and the rust ribbon is from my stash.
