Hello my wonderful Paper friends.
This month is the month of Love and what better way to celebrate then to use one of my favorite wedding photo's on a layout.
For this layout I'm using the gorgeous Maja Design February Mood Board.
The Summertime (in the Garden) papers are just perfect for the feel I wanted to go for.
After using a clear Gesso on my background I started with a combination of stamps. If you look carefully you can see the old car stamp from Prima, peeking through on the left. This is a similar car we had on the day. I thought it was very fitting. After the stamping I continued on with the stencil and paste. Now that I have some of my texture I continued with some watered down gesso to soften the background at some spots. Followed by 2 colors of Color Blooms.
Having done most of the background work, it was time to get started with my layering. I cut a couple of pieces of paper and one from the die-cut sheet to create them, started stacking chipboard, flowers and all sorts of other elements to create the desired look.
I just wanted to use a lot of flowers this time and I think it really worked. I love all the colors and different shapes and sizes in the flower arrangement.
Now that we have that done some final touches with microbeads, splash-inks to finsh of the layout. I hope you like the layout. I had a lot of fun creating this one.
As always I appreciate you dropping by my blog. It means a lot that you support me and want to have a closer look. If there are any questions or you'd like to know more about the layout just drop me a line.
Thank you and I hope you'll have a wonderful day!
