Happy November!!! I hope you are not too full of candy from Halloween!!!!
Today at Let's Scrap, our challenge is to create a layout with:
Stamping
Misting
Embossing
Texture Paste
Brown and cream colors plus one additional color
To say this was challenging is an understatement!!! I don't stamp much and have never used texture paste. I have to say this was fun, even though it took me five times longer to create than my typical layout!!
I followed this sketch and adapted the card sketch into a one page layout.
I used a metalic Modeling Cream that I found at Hobby Lobby with a small brass stencil.
After the Modeling Cream dried, I use my Dylusions Cherry Pie to spritz some color on my paper.
For my embossing piece, I used this Sizzix chevron folder that I purchased from Stampin' Up. The strip of paper was too long for the embossing folder. It was going behind my photo, so I cut it in half and embossed the two halves. I taped the strip back together and adhered it to my page.
I added some flowers and washi tape.
My title was cut from my Cameo. I cut it out in brown vinyl and transferred it next to my photo. Pooh has always been my very favorite Disney character! We went to Walt Disney World last month!
I stamped some faux stitching on my layout at the top and bottom.
I love trying new things and since joining Let's Scrap, I have created several layouts and tried a few new techniques!! I hope you come check it out!
very nice techniques!
ReplyDeleteWonderful LO and love the keys! TFS
ReplyDeleteGreat job, wonderful layout. A tip I got from a Tim Holtz video, when you need to emboss a long strip, is to cut a small slot in the fold of the embossing folder so you can slide your CS through it. That was a while ago and now I think some companies are making embossing folders with a slit in them. I am very behind in my scrapbooking so I'll be visiting your site almost hourly! lol.
