Morning Lynn here with another take on this months moodboard. Today I have a scrapbook layout that I did of my son on his recent trip to Sweden.
I have gone with the Triad method on the colour wheel - using blue, red and yellow
I began with two of the pages from the 7 Dots Studio Airmail Collection. When putting them together I did not seal the centre as I was unsure at this stage if I would be poking tags etc in, so I let the double sided tape protector on and pulled a bit through so I could easily seal it later.
I have applied a layer of clear gesso over the entire page before starting so my inks wouldnt soak into the paper.
To apply the Distress Oxide I have rubbed the ink pad on a piece of transparency and then spritzed with water before dabbing the transparency around my page. I did this one colour at a time - and dried in between colours.
Once I was happy with the colour I then applied the same colours with a paintbrush to give splash marks only
Using tags and stickers from the 7 Dots Airmail collection I created a photo matt. I then wanted to stamp the words using the Tim Holtz foam alphas. I find using a stamping platform the best option when you have more than one letter in your word and to get a perfect dark image.
for the final touches and to complete my Triad colour scheme I have added splashes of yellow paint around the layout. I have used Paper Artsy Zesty Zing for this as I wanted the yellow to stand out a bit.
Here are some close ups:
