••• Mixed media Scrapbook Layout •••

Hello my arty and crafty friends,
This is Archana here, Creative designer @Craftyscrappers

Hope you guys have enjoyed festival Holi with full of colors, Today I have another inspiration project to share with you and that mixed media scrapbook layout.. So this is what we are going to create today ↓

List of Supplies:

12x 12 Cardboard

White gesso

Craftyscrappers shimmer sprays “Ocean waves”, “Dancing peacock” and “Sweet Pumpkin”

Designer papers

Stamp set called “Rang bares”

Chipboard embellishment

Foam flowers

Shimmer paste “Jingle bells”

Brief Process

For a base I decided to use cardboard and to prepare it I removed upper part of cardboard paper to have see through of corrugated cardboard, this will add extra texture to the background.
Covered the entire cardboard using gesso.
Once the gesso dries completely I colored the cardboard using shimmer sprays “Ocean waves”, “Dancing peacock” and “Sweet Pumpkin”, and as you can see in the final image I haven’t covered entire cardboard.
Next I took few co-coordinating designer papers, tear down the edges of those papers, and arrange them forming a composition, there is no rule over here, you can arrange it however you want.
I also distress the edges of those papers using different shades of stamp pad.
Stamped image from stamp set called “Rang bares”, and colored it using diluted acrylic paints, this will be my focal image for this project.
Glued down the papers on the board and to lift it up from the background little bit I added cardboard pieces behind them
I also added few chipboard embellishment and foam flowers to complete the composition.
Placed the focal image and to add sparkle I applied shimmer paste “Jingle bells”
To finish the project added sentiment from the same stamp set and also added few sequins.
