"Illuminate the Dark' Layout by Lisa Amiet

Hello all! 

It's Lisa here today to share some crafty goodness with you.

For this project, I have created an 'Art by Marlene' inspired layout,
featuring my daughter and her best friend.

'Illuminate the Dark'

For this layout, I have started with a white cardstock base. 

I have given it a coat of 'Dina Wakley Clear Gesso' to seal my page. 

I have then used my 'Distress Oxide Spray in Faded Jeans', 

mixed with some water to flow around my page. 

I have used my heat gun to dry it, as I keep moving the liquid around the area I want it. 

This way I get layers of deeper blue and areas of lighter blue. 

Then out come some stamps :)

First I have used my 'Art by Marlene -Storms Don't Last Stamp Set',

I have used the flower stamps and my 'Distress Oxide Ink Pad - Faded Jeans',

to randomly stamp around my page. 

Next, I have used the 'AAll & Create - Stamp #35', 

'7 Dots Studio - Northern Lights Stamp Set' 

& my 'Art by Marlene' stamps, using the hearts and crosses,

with my 'Ranger Archival Ink - Jet Black' 

Now I need some more layers of goodness.

For this, I have used 'Art by Marlene Collage Papers 3 & 4'.

I have found pieces in the colours I wanted and have adhered them to my page. 

Some have been scrunched and tucked in and layered with some gauze. 

I have added some 'Vintage Lace 2 - Diane Cream' and then my photo.

I have added a 'Leaf Silver Charm', tucked under the corner of my photo. 

I have also used my 'AAll & Create Stamp #35' to stamp a sentiment for my page. 

I have then added some 

'Dyan Reaveley's Dylusions Creative Diary Back Chat Stickers' 

 to my layout.

I have finished with my title, 

stamping my 'Art by Marlene - Storms Don't Last Stamps'

sentiment with black ink. 

I had a lot of fun with this layout. 

It's fun to try something new. 

I hope that you like what I have created.

Until next Time!

Lisa
