Cathy Can't Help Herself: The ScrapbookStore

Friday, October 30, 2015

Hi Everyone,

I have my last layout for the month created for The Scrapbook Store using the Graphic 45 Mon Amour Collection.

The Mon Amour Collection has an overall wedding/love theme and my 3 previous LO's were created with this in mind, but for this LO I wanted to show you that it can be used outside of this theme and went for a pretty feminine page.

All Natural Beauty- Graphic 45 Mon Amour Collection

To create my background I coated the AC vanilla cardstock with clear gesso, then masked the Tim Holtz Gothic Stencil with Faber Castell whipped spackle mixed with Lindy's Chateau Rose mica powder from the Tres Chic Magicals Set. I then sprayed the masked area with Lindy's Cape Code Coral Starburst Mist, dried off, then sprayed with Lindy's Clam Bake Starburst Mist and finished off by flicking with Dylusions White Linen mist.

I have torn a section of the Dearest Darling pp to go down the centre of my page. My photo was framed with a frame fussy cut from the Mon Amour pp, and then layered with pieces of the My Beloved pp and peach pp from the Paper and Solids 6" paper pad, which I distressed and inked in Tim Holtz Festive Berries.

I add a bit of dimension to my layers I have tucked in some of the Chipboard Tags 1.

I cut off a section of the Blue Fern Floral Spray chipboard and altered by coating with Faber Castell gesso first, then applying Lindy's Cape Cod Coral and Clambake as well as Olive Vine Twinkling H2o's with a brush.

I used the alpha stickers from the 12x12 Sticker Sheet to create my title and distressed them with the Kaisercraft Sanding block to add to the shabby chic look of my page.
