Beautiful// Mixed Media Scrapbook Layout


Hello Scrappy Friends!  Today I am playing with the August 2018 Scrapbooking kit from Scrapbookingstore.com.  Its a monthly subscription kit that is $14 a month and comes with tons of great product.  This month it features the Echo Park collection called 'On the Record', along with die cuts from American Crafts One Canoe collection and label stickers from Heidi Swapp.


I started off with the floral patterned paper and used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the word 'Beautiful', a cut file from Paige Evans.  I then took the patterned paper called 'Lace Trim' and used the yellow side and cut the cut file once more slightly larger so that it looks like a boarder around the floral patterned paper.  I love the contrast with the two layers.  


I did attempt to leave my layout simple and used white card stock only.  But, I was not in love with it at the moment so I gessoed my white card stock and used the 'packaging technique' and did a mixed media background.  


I used my Distress Oxides inks by Ranger in Fossiled Amber, Cracked Pistachio and Abandoned Coral.  I let each color dry in between use.  I wanted little blending of colors.  I adhered my cut file and used a few white card stock sitting on my desk of roses as the embellishments on my layout. 


I added a few black paint splatters, a few bundles of tangled thread and matted my layout on patterned paper from the collection.  I love this layout and the photo is of Valentina at 7 months old.
