Oops

Hello Lovelies,

this months inspiration piece made me think of my husband as one of the images on the rights looks like waves and my hubby works on the water.

This was perfect as I had just found a selfie of him on his phone and when he told me the story behind it I knew I wanted to document it.

I dived into my stash and found a nice diagonal stripped papers that had all the colours of the inspiration piece. I also grabbed the wood grain paper as it was a nice natural yet could be seen as a more masculine paper.

I wanted the layout to have a comical feel to it, with speech bubble and solid pops of black. I think with the ephemera separated (not clustered) this helps with that feel as well.

I also used a bright green zigzag paper behind to photo to extenuate this vibe. You can see this better in the process video.

Most of the ephemera is from the pink Fresh Studio “Case of The Blahs” collection including the big black Oops title, which brings the whole page altogether.

Stash It Monday – Sidney

Happy Monday.  Hope you are doing well.  Today I am digging way, way back into my paper stash.  All of the papers I used today have to be at least 2-3 years old and I think at least one of them is around 10 years old (by the way, where has the time gone??).

Here is what the overall layout looks like.

For the background I used a smooth cardstock and primed it with Dina Wakley gesso.  I used some Mr. Huey’s and Heidi Swapp Color Shine.  Most of the color was put down with the packaging technique.  I added a few black splatters to top it off.IMG_0218The chipboard came from a My Mind’s Eye 12×12 chipboard sheet.  I really like the colors and the paper I used for the layers went well.IMG_0219I added a bit of journaling and my title and the layout is done.  IMG_0220

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Make sure you check out the Facebook page and Instagram for more inspiration.

Have a great day.
