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!

Awesome day

I am taking Wilna Furstenberg's Craftsy class called Fresh Techniques for Artful Layouts, and it is fabulous. Here is a layout from lesson 2.

This matters to me

This layout was made for a class at Studio Calico called Color Theory.  This is a monochromatic layout using black, white and gray.  The layout is entitled this matters because it is a stamp I used on the layout underneath the flower cutout.  Its about my love of traveling and adventure and how much it matters to me.

Here you can see the stamping of "this matters" and the patterned paper from Authentique, as well as the cutouts from the class taught by Wilna Furstenberg.
