Scraplift-It: Beautiful (Jenn Gagne)

November 5, 2018November 28, 2018Leave a comment

Hello, Jenn here with my first project for the Crafty Maven Getaway and I am so excited to be here 🙂 For this project I decided to scraplift the amazing Missy Whidden and her Amazing layout! I just love how this layout turned out, with it’s beautiful mixed media and colours.

I had a Paige Evans cut file that I had cut in the summer, using pattern paper, and I pulled it out to try my hand at recreating Missy’s layout. I started with the mixed media in the background by mixing some watercolours to match my cutfile, then smooshed them onto my background with a stamp block. I also used a few spray mists in matching colours to splatter over the watercolours. I decided my cutfile would look better over to the left of the page, so all of the background colour is on the left of the page. When it was dry, I used my palette knife to scrape some white acrylic paint over top of the colours to mute them a little bit so they wouldn’t compete with the patterns in my word!

While my background dried, I built up some layers behind my photo. In true Missy style, I kept my layers subtle, with just a peek of the colour around the edges of the picture. I didn’t have any tissue paper, like Missy often uses, so I opted for a square doily, which I think suits the picture really well. When my background was dry, I adhered my cutfile and my photo, then started to build up flower clusters. I pulled out all the flowers I have from my Pink Paislee Paige Evans collections and mixed them all together to create some fun flower embellishments clusters around the photo and on my cutfile word. The trick to mixing and matching collections is to make sure you spread out the colours and styles of each collection into every cluster, that way everything looks purposeful and nothing stands out too much.

To finish the layout, I added some Simple Stories tiny word stickers and some thread into my clusters, then splattered some Heidi Swapp Color Shine in gold. This layout was so much fun to do. I really enjoyed channeling my inner Missy Whidden to create this beautiful layout! Thanks so much for stopping by, and be sure to check out the process video so you can see exactly how this all came together 🙂 Until next time, Happy Scrapping!!!

SCRAPLIFT SATURDAY: NICMACKIN & KELLY(FROGGIE251)

Hello! It’s Scraplift Saturday again and this time we’re taking on a Missy Whidden layout:

Here’s what Nicole had to say:

“Kelly Overmann Olea and I both scraplifted a Hip Kit Club Design team Layout by Missy Whidden. I loved everything about it…the title, the mixed media, the embellishment layering…and had a blast scraplifting most of it!”

You can see her process here and if you’d like to see more of Nicole here’s her own YouTube channel:

Next we have Kelly:

“For this layout I decided to scraplift Missy Whidden. I have really been inspired by her work for a while now and couldn’t wait for an opportunity to lift this layout. It is probably one of my favorites that she has done. I used gesso, distress paint, and inktense pencils for the background with a little bit of color shine splatters. The collection I used was from Pebbles that I got in a Crafty Steals haul (love that website…but it is a bit dangerous to my wallet :)). The only thing outside of the pebbles collection were the turquoise Thickers. To top it off I added some enamel dots and sewing.”

Here’s her process and you can see more of Kelly on her YouTube channel:

Have a wonderful weekend 🙂
