Hi =) Today it´s my turn to show you Swirly readers what I have done with the April kit. I also have a small "messy" background tutorial for you. Hope you want to join me... so let´s begin!
First up is my sketch layout.
This is the sketch for April.
For my next layout I have used the Tech kit with Primas watercolor pens and paintable papers. To get more of the watercolor feeling I have also used my Distress Stains from my own stash.
My next layout is calmer and softer. It suitet better for my photo of my baby boy <3.
Now my last layout that I made. I plan my pages quite in detail before I glue anything down. I lay all the layers and embellisment in place... and when that is done I often get an Idea of what more in mediums I want to add. So this is how my layout looked when I had put all in place... without gluing anything ;)
It looked nice, but I wanted more color and texture to it to frame the photo even more. So I once again went for my Distress Stains and Distress Ink Pads ( love them), some stamps, a stencil and modelling paste.
I started to add the Distress Stain splatters on the background paper and let the colors blend in together.
The paper gets very wet so I put a paper towel on the top to dry up some of the wet color.
When that is done and it has dried it´s time for the stamping. This is the fun part =) I used 4 different stamps. One of them from the April kit. The other three from my own stash. I stamped with different colors.
When this is done I use the stencil and modelling paste.
Now I put back my layers of papers, photo and embellisments. This time I use glue ;) As a last touch I used some gesso on the craft doillie and flowers.
And this is how the layout turned out in the end.
