Hello and welcome to the Altenew March 2018 Blog Hop + Giveaway! I hope you find something to inspire you today - be sure to leave a comment on this post to be entered to win a $30 Altenew gift certificate! Here is the layout I made using this new release of lovely products:
It all started with the Floral Flurries Washi Tape. I love love love flowers and wanted them to be the main focus of my layout. So I took some time fussy cutting them - first I applied the giant washi tape roll to smooth white cardstock and then cut out all the flowers and leaves.
Then I got messy!! I really wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone with this one. It's new-to-me product of things I don't use all that often - stencils and sprays so I decided to make the most of it! I grabbed a piece of smooth white cardstock for the background and then used the Classy Stripes Stencil with modeling paste to create a textured surface down the center. Then I used the Deco Wallpaper Stencil, Scallop Builder Stencil, and Weave Builder Stencil with watercolors that matched the colors of the flowers all over the page. Such a pretty color palette! Once the watercoloring dried I came in with Antique Silver Metallic Ink Spray, Antique Gold Metallic Ink Spray, and Pure White Ink Spray and splashed/flicked/dropped it all around, letting it dry between each color.
Then came more washi tape: I tore thin pieces of the Dotted Washi Tape and Monochrome Washi Tape and stuck them in three places across the background. For more texture I machine stitched over the washi with light pink as well as metallic gold thread - using straight and zig zag stitching. I also stitched in a few more places across the page with the gold thread. To finish the background I came in with the Watercolor Bouquet Stencil and more modeling paste to create a final layer on top and around the layout.
I placed the clusters of fussy cut flowers over the washi tape strips and tucked in a photo to the bottom cluster. I used an "xoxo" floral tag from Altenew as my title and then wrote journaling with a precision pen next to the photo. As the finishing touch I added Altenew enamel dots in matching colors around the page.
This is such a departure from my usual style! And it was so fun! I've definitely been bitten by the mixed media bug and can't wait to try getting messy again!
