Hello scrapbook friends! Katty and I have another episode of Pretty Patterned Paper Playground. We are playing with my favorite colors this month, pinks, oranges and yellows. I am scrapping a photo of my sister and I in a playground. She was down from NJ recently and helped me do a LuLaRoe photo shoot so I had plenty of photos to post this upcoming month.
I did some gelli prints not to long ago and used my circle punches to cut 2", 1.5" and 1" cirlces out. I arranged them in a diagonal around the photo.
The large title is from a MAMBI sticker pack in my stash. Its has a clear background and I applied it before I did some mixed media over it.
I used a tiny polka dot stencil with white modeling paste to add texture to the layout. I went over the circles and title easily.
For the last few details, I added some sequins, a flair button, tiny word stickers and a piece of gold vellum. Love the colors of this layout. Thank you for stopping by.
Hello Scrappy Peeps! Fall is in the air and Katty and I have another installment of our Pretty Patterned Paper Playground series. We get inspiration from our mood board each month and this time it had burnt oranges, olive greens, dusty blues and rich golds. Katty always does an excellent job with the mood board tiles.
Miguel and I recently went to a 90s R&B concert and this was a quick selfie I took of us. For this layout I started off with the butterfly background die cut from the Silhoutte Design Store cut on a mid tone blue card stock from my stash. It was difficult to get this off the cutting mat as you can imagine with all the detail cuts.
I also cut out the 3D butterflies from the Design Store as well. I used an old Shimelle patterned paper from Star Shine collection. The deep cinnamon tone orange worked well with our mood board. These larger contrasting butterflies made the layout special.
I added detail with inexpensive acrylic pain to the butterflies and leaves. I added orange and green sequins for added interest to my background. Once that was done, I really did not need much for embellishments. I choose a chunky gold thicker phrase from my stash for my simple title, 'Happy'.
My process video it on Katty's channel. I've linked it below for your viewing pleasure.
The Pretty Patterned Paper Playground is a series Katty Miranda and I have started together. We live an hour apart from each other so we like to get together and scrap. We made a Facebook group for everyone to come and share their work. For this layout we wanted to scrap lift the lovely Missy Whiden on YouTube. This technique was fun and easy to do for a "control" mixed media effect. This technique is wonderful for those scrappers just starting out in mixed media. This was Missy's layout:
She did this layout a while ago on her channel. She, and I, started out with a scrap piece of card stock and randomly started adding mists, splatters, inks and paints. The randomness lets you achieve color blending and effects that cannot be achieved without intuitive nature of this technique. I let layers dry before adding more on top. I even went in with stamps with stitching effects and music notes for added interest to the paper. When this scrap of paper with all your colors was dried, simply use a circle punch and cut it up. To me, the paper resembled the galaxy with stars.
I arranged them in the exact same way as she did. I added strips of patterned paper to the side of the layout like book ends. I added black round dies from an old Heidi Swapp collection in my stash with some pop dots. The Tim Holtz conversation tiny word stickers were also added from my stash.
I scrapped a picture I took with my mom when she came over to my coast of Florida and had tickets to see Kinky Boots. At the event, they had a step and repeat carpet area and was able to take a selfie with my mom. It is a lovely memory to hold onto. Here is my process video so that you can watch this technique being done. Hope you enjoy.
Welcome back to Katty and my series with Pretty Patterned Paper Playground. We are having so much fun scrapping together for this series since we both live in South Florida together. Our challenge this month is to use negative space, aka, leave white showing. If you know me and my style you know this never happens. I cover my layouts with color. I was up for the challenge this month though. I think for my first attempt at negative space I did do pretty well. I see plenty of white space left untouched.
I began with my mix media and used Distress stains in Wilted Violet and Cracked Pistachio and Shimmerz mists in Cotton Candy and Sweet Heart. I went through my collection of 6x6 paper pads and pulled anything that had pink, purple or teal. I cut them all up into random sizes and just started layering them up under my photo. This part took the longest amount of time.
I added tangled thread in the same colors and then a few black and white Mambi chipboard stickers for some contrast. The flair is from an old Clique kits. The tiny word stickers are from Tim Holtz small chatter booklets and the 'Whatever' title is from the Documentary collection by Dear Lizzy.
I have attached my process video for your viewing pleasure.
