Enchanted Moment

 Hi Everyone, 

Today I am focusing on a mixed media layout inspired by the July Random Arts Moodboard Creative Hub. As soon as I saw this moodboard , I thought of, fairies, toadstools,a forest inspired theme.






I found a photo of my eldest grand daughter holding a birds nest, that thought would work perfectly for this Moodboard. I double matted the photo, firstly with white, then a green  mat, which helped it to pop out from the background, rather then just blend in.


             

    The moodboard from the July Challenge at Random arts Creative Hub



I chose 2 papers from the Enchanted Collection from Kaisercraft. I fussy cut the centre of this paper, around the trees and branches,removing they sky background.




I adhered my fussy cut paper on  to this Ivy themed page. As I was going to use resins and other foliage items I adhered the my paper base to another sheet of plain cardstock, to make the base layer a little firmer 



these are some of the products I used. Firstly I painted the resin pieces with Gesso, let that dry before applying a very light coat of the Prima Metallic Waxes with either a thin paint brush or your finger. then I wiped over with a paper towel to remove the excess. I used the same process with the waxes, using a different colour, on my chipboard pieces.

All that was left to do now was put it all together, I used my favourite Nuvo glue to hold everything in place 

                          

                          

                              Here are some close ups, to show all the beautiful details.


 





 I had a lot of fun putting this together, using up older supplies. as this is a bulky layout i am going to frame it and hang it om a wall.

                                                       Until next time.

                                                     Enjoy the Journey

  I love entering monthly challenges and try to do as many as I can each  month. Whether they be Moodboard Challenges, Sketch Challenges, it really doesn't matter, I have a go at them all. This month Scrap With Attitude's Challenge was a Moodboard, the extra requirements were to journal and multiple photos which were to be matted the Photos. I chose to used the brightly coloured Cocoa Vanilla Sunkissed collection to use for my layout. I decided to use a stencil and texture paste to add interest to the background.  I find using an old credit card to spread the texture paste is a lot easier to get a better coverage. These are the items I used to put my layout together. While the texture paste was drying, I fussy cut the flowers and title I was wanting to use. I mounted the 3 photos, that I had previously cut down to size, with the blue and green papers.  I attach my photos using foam mounting tape or a piece of cardboard glued to the back of the  photo.  Then add the flower, agai

I had lots of fun putting this one together I used the the In The Castle paper from the Day Dream Story Book Collection. I used the Shutters Chipboard angled behind my photos. layers of fussy cut flowers and leaves surround my photos. Raw chipboard sprigs are tucked in among the flowers , with extra small paper flowers added. I used the Deco Half Circle Die, cut in gold glitter paper, tucked in amongst my biggest cluster.
