Hi Everyone,

Thanks for dropping by today. I am sharing you my latest creation using the Ooh La La collection from Ultimate Crafts.

For this layout of my mum with us three kids I really wanted to incorporate white and black and found two perfect patterned papers in the collection to base my layout on. I also wanted to use some of the Anna Griffin pastes and stencils on the layout also.

Below is my finished layout.

I really love using the Anna Griffin Mixed Media products and particularly love the Embossing Paste. So for this project I mixed some Cafe Latte coloured ink in with the texture paste. Looking at the finished colour it reminded me of a brown sugar icing I make for my cupcakes.

When using stencils I always hold them in place with some removable tape or some old washi tape so it will stay in place whilst I apply the paste over the stencil on to the cardstock. For this layout I used the Botanical Damask stencil.

I selected two papers in the 12x12" paper stack that had white as part of the print. The stripe print I cut a 3" wide strip x 11" long, turning it into a long banner, adhering it to the damask print patterned paper. I mounted my photo on to the white cardstock where I added the embossing paste.

Using the Peacock Feather die and the inner square doily from the Framed Floral Set of dies. I then sprayed a Cottage Pollen flower with adhesive spray and scattered gold glitter from the Anna Griffin Glitter Set over the spray, shaking off the excess glitter.

Once the flower is dry finish the layout by arranging the flower and die cuts on the page adding a couple more of the Couture Creations Bulk Flowers and a wooden title to finish the page.

Below are a couple of close up photos of the finished layout.
