There are a lot of different techniques on this layout that combine together to create something unique & fun: modeling paste with stencils, heat embossing with gold glitter powder, splashing watercolors and acrylic paint, fussy-cutting, tone-on-tone, border punches, and more!
There is a paper in my Turn the Page collection that is filled with colorful hexagons (Paper 17). Even though the collection has been out for over a year, I still haven’t used this paper and I was excited to give it a whirl! Once I fussy-cut one hexagon from every color I thought about how I could jazz them up. Enter gold glitter embossing! I have a few colors of powder that I’ve kept throughout my frequent purges but I still don’t use them as often as I should – I need to emboss more!
I like to include smaller photos on my layouts to let the background work and paper piecing enhance the story. On this layout I toyed with one larger photo first but since all my other layouts in Paige’s Pages 16 use a single photo I switched to several small photos to show how to include multiple pictures on one layout.
There were a few detail photos from this event that I wanted to highlight but didn’t want to make an entire mini album like I usually do when I have a lot of photos from a single adventure, so printing them small let me show more photos while also having fun creating the background.
