Enjoy the journey

Hi everyone.

I am so excited to share my second project as Guest Designer for 13 Arts.  

I created this single page layout using papers from Down Under and Victoriana collections.  

I love the bright vibrant colour of the yellow paper from Down Under and it suited the 

muted tones from the Victoriana paper as well as my photograph.  

I included some of the cutouts from the Victoriana sheet on my layout as well.

I prepared the background of the layout (yellow paper) by stenciling with modeling paste 

mixed with Andalusite Color Glow paint powder.  I then tore the Victoriana paper, adhering it 

to the yellow sheet and then adding stenciling to it as well.  Once the modeling paste was dry, 

I added diluted Andalusite and Amber (separately) onto the stenciling, spraying with water 

so that it moved on the page.

I stamped onto the papers with black Archival Ink and then did some additional stenciling 

down the sides of the layout with modeling paste.  Once the stenciling was dry, 

I added black gesso with a spatula, dragging it down the sides of the layout as well as 

lightly brushing it onto the white stenciling.  Once the gesso was dry, I added 

Amber Color Glow to modeling paste and stenciled on top of everything.

  

The chipboard pieces were painted with diluted Andalusite Color Glow.  

I love how this paint powder gives a silver shine when you look at it from an angle.

I hope that you like this layout.

Until next time!
