Monique here with my first "Show Us Your Texture" Challenge Share.
When I first saw this challenge's criteria I was so excited - this is right up my ally! I adore texture, and I always add heaps to my layout with stamping, distressing, mixed media - I love it all!!
This is what I created:
This photo of my son was taken a few years ago, but nothing much has changed - he still pulls this cheesy grin when I ask him to smile. It is so frustrating, and I keep saying "Don't say cheese." Hence the title..lol...
I went to absolute town using the divine AALL & Create Stamps and Stencils. I took some inspiration from the 7 Dots Studio Writer's Block papers I used and used my AALL Stencil #18 to create a background with texture paste, Dylusion Spray in Postbox Red and Dylusion Paint London Blue. I used a baby wipe to wipe away some of the ink so the stencil could show through a bit more. I then stamped some of the script from the AALL Stamp Set #25 on my background before layering Dina Wakely Washi Tape, with some random strips of paper over the top. I used cut out letters from the 7 Dots Studio Inkwell Paper and lots of journaling dots from the Writer's Block 6x12 stickers sheet and journaling strip sheet. I finished the layout off with some KK Geo Stars and some more stamping of the chevrons from that awesome AALL Stamp Set #25 .
Here are some close ups:
