CRAFTERS PALETTE DESIGN TEAM REVEAL APRIL PAGE MAP CHALLENGE - DREAM

Hi everyone and welcome to my blog and my latest layout using  the latest Page Map for April from CRAFTERS PALETTE

For this months' page map challenge I created this layout using the fabulous  Prima Menagerie Collection. This collection kit is beautiful and comes with a set of beautiful Prima Flowers. If you know me I love anything with pink and flowers!

Here is the page map which as you can see I have turned on its side

PRODUCTS USED

Prima Menagerie Collection Kit

Bazzill cardstock

Flower dies and punches

Mini pearls

Title and tag from my stash.

So as soon as I saw this kit I fell in love with it, the colours are beautiful. And of course I had to make lots of flowers to go with it.

Just take out your favourite flower dies and punches and away you go. To make the flowers look more dimensional I spritzed them with water, allowed to part dry, then using a pair of tweezers I shaped each petal , leave to dry.

SOME CLOSE UPS

Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you like my layout and have a go at making some dimensional flowers. Also I would love it if you would follow me on my blog. Many thanks in advance.

DESCRIPTION

As Prima paper is such good quality I thought I could use some Mixed Media products on my project and do some

 stencilling and stamping. Mixed media is much easier than you might think, why not just have a go.

HERES HOW

Double matt photo and adhere lightly to page

Gesso around the page

When dry add random stencilling using texture paste

When this is dry start random stamping around the photo

Make sure to cover your photo up to avoid splatters

Make lots of paper flowers

Start decorating.

So there you have it, a new layout using Mixed Media as my inspiration. I hope you try this out, as it is much easier than you might think.  I hope you like the end result.
