Good morning all, Monique here. I am popping by the blog today to share with you my first layout for this month's "You've Got Mail" challenge.
This is another fantastic challenge - the choice for interpretation is endless!
For this one, I decided to use this really cool chipboard from the 7 Dots Studio Airmail collection. The postage stamp frames, envelopes and other little chippy shapes are really cute!!
I wanted to create a layout about this photo I took of my son recently. He is growing up so fast - literally changing into a young man before my eyes. I wanted to tell him how proud I was of the young man he was becoming.
Anyway, this is what I did:
I also took the opportunity to use some new awesome Paper Artsy Star Stamps. I coloured them with a technique I picked up from the lovely Tammy Klingner. I just sprayed some Dylusions Ink Spray in Postbox Red onto the stamp packaging and splodged it onto some white cardstock. I then dried it with a heat tool and did the same with some Dylusions Ink Spray in London Blue. Once it was dry I stamped on my stars using archival ink, cut them out and backed them with some black cardstock to make them "pop" a bit more. Here is a close up of how they turned out:
Next I got out the 7 Dots Studio Airmail - Chipboard and painted it in some Dina Wakley Media Acrylic Paint - Black. Once it was dry, I doodled an outline on them using a white gel pen.
Finally, I got out some new MAMBI chips I was itching to use and added them to my layout as well. These chips are amazing - I use them on so many projects. They can be used for titles to, which I love. This particular pack is currently sold out in the shop, but there are so many different packs to try - and they are all equally amazing. They can be found here.
I also drew around the stars and the MAMBI chips with a white gel pen to tie all my embellishments together.
Here are some more close ups of my embellishments:
