Time To Explore | My Creative Scrapbook-March Tutorial

Hello, My Creative Scrapbook friends!  Yvette here and I'm so excited to share this beautiful mixed media page with you today. Every once in awhile I like to get messy and challenge myself to create a mixed media background.  Included in this month's main kit is a flower stamp as well as a circle stencil, I decided to mainly use the stamped flowers as well as a few die-cut pieces as my only source of embellishments for my page.

Gather my supplies..... 

I started the layout off by creating a watercolor effort on the background, using various shades of blue, orange and yellow. I mixed the Gelatos with a little water onto a piece of plastic packaging and applied it using the 'kissing' technique...(gently kiss the packaging to your cardstock)      

I keep building layers of colors, working in a diagonal design until I was happy with the end results. 

        

Here you can see, I also used a small water brush to move the colors around a bit. Which created some movement and interest on my page.

I then stamped the flower image multiple times on some white cardstock, using charcoal ink and fussy cut. 

Next, I applied gesso, using a palette knife through the circle stencil. 

Once everything was dry, I decided to add a few stamped flowers over the top of the paint using the charcoal ink. 

Some machine stitching in black was added of texture and interest.

Once my background was done, I was ready to start embellishing using the fussy cut stamped flowers. 

  

A phrase found on one of the cutout cards was fussy cut to create a title.

A few die-cut vines and flower shapes was add to the layout to finish it off.

   I hope you felt inspired today and if you're not a subscriber yet, give it a try. The kits are all so beautiful and you will not regret it!!!!

You Are My Greatest Adventure | My Creative Scrapbook- March Tutorial

Hi My Scrapping Friends!

For my tutorial today I decided to use the Heidi Swapp stamp and stencil set which came in this month's main kit.

Here's a look at the layout I created using the stamp and stencil!

Here are the supplies I used to create my background:
-------
Memento Tuxedo Black ink
The Heidi Swapp stamp & stencil from March main kit
Heidi Swapp medallic texture paste
Plastic spatula
Stamping Block

I started with a 12x12 sheet of white cardstock and cutting it to the size of 11x11.

Using the Memento in tuxedo black, I stamped the Heidi Swapp phrase in a half circle which created a pattern going from the bottom of the page and up the left side.

Next I took the stencil and use some washi tape to mask off only the areas I wanted to use.

I then apply the Metallic texture paste using a plastic spatula on top of the stamped area, following the same half circle design.

  Before I fussy cut the butterflies out and while I were waiting for the paste to dry, I colored in some of the butterflies using Memento markers and Copic Atyou Spica glitter pens.

Here are some close-ups of my layout...

Here you can see I back the white cardstock with a woodgrain 12x12 patterned paper and added  hand stitching all around the edges. I love the added texture and interest this create.

    

I hope I inspired you to create some beautiful....

Thanks for stopping by :)

My Creative Scrapbook | Hello Sunshine

Hi My Scrapping Friends!

Today I'm back with you to share my first layout using the March main kit from My Creative Scrapbook!

This was such a great kit to document a photo of Max on his big boy's bike!  I used the bike ride patterned paper for the lower half, cut a couple strips of pattern papers and machine stitched to the top where it meets the cardstock.

Here are some close-ups... 

       I combined an arrow and this cute chicken die cut with one of the puffy sticker from the Simple Life collection as the title for my layout.

I used several pieces of die cut from the Simple Life collection to the top of my page and added foam dots underneath to give it some extra dimension.

     I created a small cluster to the bottom left hand corner of my photo using more of the gorgeous embellishments in this month's main kit!

        I hope I inspired you to create something beautiful ....

 Thanks for stopping by :)
