Hi everyone, today I'd like to share with you my latest creation using the new Magnolia Lane collection from Couture Creations.... "family"
I love this pic of my boys.... they are brothers from the same litter, and have not long had their first birthday.... they are inseparable...
Now a quick step by step on how I but this layout together...
I began by creating a stencil by die cutting a magazine cover using the Damask Frame die...

next up I used the stencil with some modelling paste randomly across the page...

then got to splashing some watercolour around using some Twinkling H2O's...

next I used a couple of the stamps from the Songbird stamp set with some archival ink to create some random patterning....
I love how I can use the birdcage stamp to just create random lines...

next I used the Typography embossing folder to emboss a scrap of the Magnolias and Lace paper, and then coloured the embossed surface with distress ink using a sponge dauber...
I cut the embossed piece into a rectangle and some smaller squares and inked the edges up...
then I put it all together with some hessian and gauze and even some teabag paper...
lastly I added some wording and a title...
one last pic of the completed layout...
