Love Layout with Kaylee



Hello Everyone,
Welcome to my next project using the pretty Peaceful Peonies Collection.






The more layouts I do the more I like them.  This one I wanted to add 'Hearts' and try a few techniques that were new to me like background stamping, background stencil work, multiple matting layers, and working with vellum and acetate.  So here goes, hope you like it too.


1.  I started by adding a backing sheet of cardstock to the main page just to give it a bit more support.



2.  Next I trimmed 13cm from the top of sheet 01A and 4mm from the other 3 sides - this creates a border of the Silver  Star cardstock.  Glue the papers in place, then apply a coat of clear Gesso over both - allow to dry.

3.  Inspired by Shobi's tip of being able to use the transparent Yupo paper to create a stencil, I went to work to see if I could.  I had to use my ScanNCut machine to create this stencil.  I first die cut these 2 dies out of black card to get a better scanning image, scanned them in and then using the program I removed the outer lines - this allowed the die cut to stay in the Yupo paper.  I played around a bit with the flowers so they looked layered - more to learn here for me on another day.

4.  I used texture paste for the Lattice stencil.   .

5.  Using my new stencils and paste I applied background images over my layout allow to dry

6.  Next I did some random background stamping with the Cursive Mini stamp and the 2 inks - Dark Grey and Silver.


7.  Now to create the elements.  I inked the Spotted Butterfly mini stamp with the Silver pigment ink, stamped it onto the Acetate, sprinkled clear embossing powder over stamped image, set it with the heat gun then fussy cut image.

8.  Similiar process as previous step but used the stamp and die leaf from the Peony & Leafy Branch Stamp & Die set, vellum, stamped with and heat set image with white embossing powder - I made 5 of these.

9.  I die-cut 5 small hearts from the Hearts Nesting die set out of  the Cherry-Cola and Snow White cardstock then embossed  3 in the embossing folder.  I smudged some Silver and Coral pigment ink over these cutouts.  I die-cut the Love Delightful Sentiment out of Silver Glitter card.  Fussy cut around lace trim on sheet 09A and flowers from sheet 06A.  I inked the edges of the flowers with Silver and Coral pigment ink.

10.  To create a heart frame I positioned the 2 dies like this and taped them together before die-cutting them out of the Silver Glitter card

11. Heart frame cut out, keep the smaller heart for another project.

12.  Next I cut the 9 mats and backed cardboard behind the 4 sizes as shown.   (My first figure is the width measurement, the second is the length)   A = Black & White Photo measures 3" x 4".  B = Woodgrain pattern from sheet 09A - 2 1/2" x 4".  C = Silver Cardstock - 3 1/4" x 4 1/2".  D 1&2= Lace pattern from bottom of sheet 09A -  D1 - 1 1/2" x 2", D2 - 2 1/2" x  whatever is left, E = Woodgrain pattern from sheet 09A - 1 1/2" x 2", F = Pink Dot pattern from sheet 01B - 1" x 7",  G 1&2  = Green Leaf pattern from sheet 06B - G1 = 3/4" x 3", G2 = 3" x 3/4",  H = Pink Dot pattern from sheet 01B - 3" x 4".

13.  The photo edge can be sanded off with a sander or sandpaper.  The other edges are distressed and inked with the 3 inks randomly around the edges.

14.  Glue all the mats together - just play around with offsetting them to create different lines and colours.  Drape the silver heart frame over this arrangement.

15.  It's all about putting it all together now.  I used glue to attach almost everything.  I added either cardboard or double-sided foam squares to the back of elements if I wanted more height.  This is the Love and Hearts area.

16.  The acetate butterfly arrangement.  Behind the butterfly I felt I put too much coral ink  on so I sprinkled some glitter over it and it seemed to look like it was meant to be there instead of a cover-up of a mistake.

17.  A close up of the background stenciling and stamping, squggles from black fineliner,  bow, fussy-cut and die-cut flowers with pearls.  The  Layered Trilliums were cut from Snow white cardstock, hit with a spray of glimmer mist, splash of coral paint in the centre area and topped with a pearl centre,  I softly bent the petals  before gluing them in place
18.  A Closer look at the pearls and muslin placement.
