Third times a charm

I have been making LO (layouts) from a class I'm taking given by Wilna Furstenberg on Craftsy. This is a great class and so inspiring! I made two other LO from the original layout in class, using the stencil and the rest of the pieces so here is LO #3.  At the end, I will show all three layouts.

For this LO, I used the words cut out from the stencil and watercolored them.  To make them stand out more I placed them on some patterned paper by Studio Calico.  On the white background paper I used some spray mist and splatters by Heidi Swapp called blush. Then I used some picture frames on top inspired from this blog post by Wilna. Then I added some embellishments to finish.

Here are some close-ups

To watercolor the words I used my Gansai Tambi set and then put a nice white sparkle on top also from the set.  These are such beautiful and easy watercolors to use.  I love them and they are worth the investment... At least I think so, hee hee! :)

Here are all three layouts.  This shows how much fun and how different your layouts can be from a single starting point.  I love that! It just makes thing so easy and I think the results are lovely!

Thanks for stopping by!

Patient Again

So, I posted a LO (layout) I had made from a stencil and embossing paste.  This was from a Craftsy class taught by Wilna Furstenberg.  Well, I made two more layouts from that same stencil but in different ways. This post will be about LO number 2....

But before I tell you about the second LO, here is a picture of LO #1

If you want to know how to make this LO, check out the Craftsy class

NOW.... Here is LO #2

For this layout, I used the stencil with the embossing paste on top of it and glued patterned paper behind it.  Then I added my photo and some embellishments!

Here are some close-ups! In these you can really see all the texture and interest that the embossing paste on top of the stencil creates!

Awesome day
