Hello, Creative Embellishments fans!
Sandi Clarkson here with you today sharing a new layout for the Design Team blog!
I've been wanting to scrap this photo of my oldest grandson for quite some time. When I got this new 49 and Market Everywhere collection, it all finally came together. Even though it's been a popular foundation for many crafters, I really wanted to use it as is. I used it without any additional mixed media on the background since the paper already has done the work.
I chose 3 pieces of chipboard and altered all of them by painting then with walnut stain. Quick and easy with a grounded nature, I chose the Globe 6 inch, the Hiking title set and the Travel Corner. Links to all these pieces are at the bottom of this post.
The Globe chipboard serves as the base to my focal area. The actual photo was matted with ephemera from the Everywhere collection and stapled together after distressing the edges somewhat.
Next I moved on to adding my floral even though it's a masculine page. I really like the texture they provide and I mostly used blue. My florals are all 49 and Market.
I did add a few rub-ons which always help give the layout great dimension. I positioned my Hiking title piece in between the 2 focal areas.
As is usually the case with me, my focal area did cover a great deal of the Globe chippy but I'm okay with that. I like using my chipboard as layers versus always having it as the star of the show.
I did try to get a few shots of the Globe for you.
I had fun creating this cluster on the right, again using my chipboard as a base layer. Die cuts, florals and art stones pulled it all together. Even with a bow, I think the cluster is definitely masculine.
After the addition of art stones, I splattered diluted white paint across my layout. If you are new to this technique, be sure that you cover your photo while doing this so that you don't splash on your photo.
That's all from me today! I hope you are inspired to get in your craft area and have some fun!
See you next time!
Sandi
