Julie's Papercraft: Live Your Dream Layout

Hi there.

Today I am sharing a layout I have created for one of the December challenges over at Mystical Scrapbooks.

There are two challenges for this month. One is to create a layout using three or more photos and you can find that layout here.

This layout is for the challenge that asks you to use splatters on your layout.

You will find both of the challenges here.

The video that shows how this layout came together is here.

I have used Studio 73's Mystique Nightwind papers on this layout along with a Provocraft patterned paper. (Sorry don't know the name of the paper range)

The background is a charcoal cardstock that I have trimmed the centre out of leaving a 1" frame.

I watered down some Kaisercraft Dusty Pink paint and used my fan brush to splatter the paint onto a piece of Haze Linen Cardstock. I trimmed this cardstock down to 11 1/2" x 11 1/2"

The patterned paper have been cut to:-

Floriana 6 1/4" x 8 1/2"

Provocraft (bright pink) 2 @ 8 1/2" x 3/4"

Kookaburra Linen Cardstock 2 @ 8 1/2" x 3/4". I embossed these using my Big Shot and a Sizzix embossing folder.

Midnight 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"

The pennants are 1 1/2" wide, 1" wide and 2 @ 3/4" wide

To create the flowers I have used an unknown brand die to make the white spiked flowers, Couture Creations CO724161 die and Floriana paper to make the flower on the right and Kaisercraft DD707 Layered Flowers with the Provocraft paper to make a daisy type flower and with the Midnight paper to make the two flowers on the left.

There is a tutorial in the video showing how I assemble the flowers.

I used Uniquely Creative Little Leaves die and Kookaburra cardstock to cut the leaves.

All of the papers had their edges inked before being attached to the layout base.

The pennants were attached behind the patterned papers and the flowers were attached using my hot glue gun.

The chipboard title is from Memory Maze. I have heat embossed it with black embossing powder and attached it above the photo on the right of the layout.

I have added four small black chipboard hearts to bring a little more black into the layout and tie it all together. I added a coat of Glossy Accents to the solid hearts

I hope you can make sense of my description and that the photos help you see how the page came together. If you find it hard to follow my description you might like to check out the video
