Hello there! Els Bridge invited me to be one of her guest weekend at her blog. Be sure to drop by her blog to read more about me!
So today I would like to share with you a simple tutorial on how I created the background for my layout.
For this layout, I used Maggie Holmes Flea Market 12x12 patterned paper called Tag Sale.
Scrappy info:
1. First, I cut out some of the tags from the patterned paper.
2. Then, I randomly positioned them on a piece of white cardstock. I also decided to layer a few pieces of vellum just to tone down the colours in order to have a subtle look.
3. Adhered all the pieces down. I also sewed only on the vellum pieces.
4. Once that is done, I used a wet wipe to dip into my gesso bottle. Gently dabbed the gesso onto the patterned paper & the vellum as well.
5. Lastly, I sprayed some mint green mist at the corners of the cardstock. And finished the look with some gold & navy blue mist splatters to create an arty look.
Here is a closer look of the finished background.
Once the medium is dried, I added the fabric frame in the middle and adhered two photos. You may embellish the layout with a frame, stickers & chipboards.
Ta daa... here is my completed layout. I hope you like & enjoyed today's tutorial. Thank you so much for allowing me to share this layout with you!
