Good morning!
I am excited to share my next layout with you! Not only because I get to use my favorite chipboard from my favorite chipboard company - Creative Embellishments but I found this online store here in Canada (Scrapbook Centrale) that carries some of the scrapbooking brands that is harder to find here like Craft O'clock and 3Quarter Designs! So I got to play with yummy CE chipboard AND some papers I have wanted from Craft O'clock and since it is September 1st I also got inspiration from the September challenge at Creative Embellishments!
To create this layout:1 - cover your background paper with clear gesso. To avoid warping I always cover both sides, then put my teflon sheet and glass mat to weigh it down. Once dry ink the edges
2 - Use your favorite CE stencil to form a 't' across your page (I used the Small Square Stencil) with light paste mixed with coordinating colorant (I used Lindy's Screaming Banshee) allow to dry or heat set
3 - use coordinating mists or powders on the stenciled areas I used terracotta, dark brown, yellow ochre and burnt sienna brusho powders
4 - die cut or fussy cut 9 tags and ink edges
5 - ink your title piece and a distressed clock piece I inked in black
6 - using the powders from earlier apply some to those two pieces of chipboard and heat set
7 - Apply clear gesso to your chipboard accent pieces including the camera from the title piece and allow to dry or heat set. I used the Grunge Harlequin border and a clock hand.
8 - apply the powders you used earlier to the chipboard pieces and allow to dry or heat set.
9 - Mix one of the powders (I used yellow ochre) with texture paste and apply to chipboard pieces to add dimension and texture
10 - assemble as shown
11 - add some distressed flowers, seed beads and art stones to finish
