Love, love , love the blues on the Christmas lines this year.
I used a LOT of spray ink on this layout- the doily was pretty much
soaked with the Heidi Swapp Gold Color Shine.
I layered several die cuts next to my photo. For my background I used a stencil, Molding Paste, Gelatos® and glitter -there is a tutorial below.
Here is a close-up of the background. I wrapped this beautiful sparkly tulle around
my paper for more dimension. The wooden stars were sprayed with the Perfect Pearls Forever Red.
For my title I painted chipboard first with acrylic paint, then I sprayed with the Perfect Pearls Forever Red and the Gold Color Shine. It is a little hard to see the gold in the photo, but it is pretty visible in person!
For the flowers, I sprayed them with the Gold Color Shine first, then spread Frosted Lace Stickles
around the edges of the petals.The chipboard snowflakes were covered
with the Stickles and while wet I added some bling.
I used a gold paint pen on the edge of the paper that you see here. For the texture on top of the buttons, I mixed gloss gel, glitter, and beads and spread on top.
I added the Stickles in the corners of the papers.
I sprayed the tiniest, tiniest bit of Forever Red ink on the corner here.
Seriously, I held the paper like 2 feet from the sprayer and misted one time.
I just wanted a little blush of color there.
Tutorial:
For the background here are the steps:
I put a small amount of my Gelatos® on my paper and mixed with Molding Paste.
I spread this over my stencil and while the stencil was still in place,,,,,
I sprinkled my glitter on and pressed it into the paste.
Ta-da! This is a super easy technique and you will love how it looks.
For the texture on top of the buttons, I mixed Gloss Gel, beads, and Diamond Dust Glitter together.
Put a piece of scrap paper over your photo and spread the mixture all over. I put mine on
pretty heavy, but you can always put less. Put it aside to dry overnight. In the morning I
gave it a spritz with the Gold Color Shine.
