How are you all going with your challenge this month? I am popping by the blog to share my challenge layout.
For this challenge, I went way out of my comfort zone, for a start I used no patterned paper at all - simply unheard of for me...lol...
I used this gorgeous stamp available at Scrap Matrix
Then I stamped a whole heap of various flowers on white card.
While they dried, I took out a piece of white cardstock and stamped some more flowers diagonally down the page. I then painted them with the Dina Wakley paint too. Something I have learned over time is how to create balance on my page. Basically, large is heavier than small, and dark colours are heavier than light colours. So, when stamping, if I had a large image at the top, I was careful to either cluster a few smaller images, or paint the large image in a light colour, and the small image in a darker colour.
While I waited for all the paint to dry, I worked on my photo mat. I cut a strip of black cardstock, and simply layered across some drywall mesh, some washi tape, some lace and some of these gorgeous German Scrap Renaissance Petite Black paper strips.
I backed my photos in some red coloured, and then put it all together. I then adhered the photo mat across the base cardstock. Once I cut out the other painted images, I layered them over the flowers painted on the base cardstock to add depth to my page.
I used the "sisters" word from the 13 Arts Art Journey chipboard sheet.
Here are some close ups:
The products I used on this, available at Scrap Matrix, include:
Paper Artsy Stamp EK D06
That's it from me for now. Hope you enjoyed my post, and don't forget to have a go at this month's challenge.
