Hello friends! It's Smitha here today, and I'm in the mood of doing some mixed media art. I decided to alter the cover of this mini album and I'll show you how! I'm using the Vicki Boutin Molding paste. This is a smooth paste that is great to add subtle white on white texture and use along with stencils. To create an even layer or pattern and texture, place your stencil onto the album cover. Center the stencil. If you need to, you can also tape down the stencil. Then, using a palette knife or an old credit card smear the paste all over the stencil and spread evenly. Make sure to clean off your stencil immediately after. I added the pattern to the top 4/5th of the album cover and love how it looks already. I then added some paper, and embellishments from the Daydreamer kit and love how the title is bold yet simple. I love adding paper die cuts and mixing it with the molding paste to create such subtle texture and pattern. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial friends! Thanks for stopping by today :)

Hello Paperlovers, Welcome to Cliquekits blog today! It's Josefine here sharing a new layout with you. The theme is "Let's Go" I use the beautiful base kit " A simpler Life" this kit is a perfect match for my photo's from Paris. I love Paris this beautiful city feels like home! I love the architecture, the people, food and the special restaurants with all there coziness... I start with the background of my layout. I stamped two stains with the distress oxide (peeled paint) with my clear stamp on the white cardstock. I also make some spletters with the distress oxide using my brush. I let it dry and start building the flowers. For the pink flowers, I use a 1 inch punch and punched 11 circles out from the soft pink cardstock. I fold these circles in half and slide them together into a circle. 1 circle I use as a center and put the flower that I create in the middle to keep all the petals to each other. I gently unfold the petals to create more of a 3D effect. With the Cricut maker I cut an Eifel Tower and place it along with the paper flower die-cuts on my layout. I punch four circles out of the vellum with my 1 inch punch and glue the sides together and place them between the die-cuts. I also choose for three different Alpha's for my title. When I'm done decorating the layout I'll make some more splatters with white gesso and black acrylic ink. I hope you got some great ideas and have fun folding the flowers!
Have a lovely day and love to see you next time on Cliquekits blog! XoXo, Josefine Hello Clique friends! |
