{crafty} Pinkfresh Studio May Blog Hop

Hello there! Welcome to the Pinkfresh Studio May kit reveal blog hop!  If you came from Agnieszka's blog, you are in the right place! If not, head over to the Pinkfresh blog to start from the beginning.

I had some fun with this kit! I really loved the stamp set this month. Then again I do every month! I started with repeatedly stamping that fun doodle frame to create a grid like pattern for my background. Of course, I can't leave it that simple! I used a couple stencils with paint and modeling paste, stamped, misted, embossed. Pretty much a little of everything. 

I used the glassine envelope that the veneers in the kit came in to create a little confetti pocket layer behind my photo. I filled it with the yellow heart sprinkles as well as the blue square sequin from the March kit.

Epoxy stickers are pretty much my favorite thing ever. I love both the badges and the two tone diamonds in the kit. I had to restrain myself from using more of them on this layout!

Be sure to like Pinkfresh Studio on Facebook and Instagram for more inspiration. Don't forget to stop back at the Pinkfresh Studio blog and leave a comment for a chance to win the May embellishment kit! The winner will be chosen Wednesday the 22nd.

{crafty} iNSD Mood Board Challenge

Hello there and happy National Scrapbook Day!

 I am so excited to be participating in the Pinkfresh Studio and Winnie & Walter mood board challenge! Here is the mood board -

And here is the layout it inspired!

There were so many wonderful elements in the mood board to take inspiration from! The collage of photos, the watercolor, the pops of yellow in several of the images. My layout ended up being a combination of many of these things!

I started making my background by adding a layer of gesso to my cardstock and then going in with my gelatos and a little water to spread the color out. Once that was dry I added some mist splatters and more water until I got the look I was going for. To break up some of the bold color I added some modeling paste mixed with white paint, so it wouldn't soak up all the yellow beneath it, with the Winnie & Walter Triangled stencil. I ended up cutting my paper a little off center through the watercolored area and then flipped both sides around on my layout. I then went back in and added some stamping from the Winnie & Walter Big Bang Confetti stamp and small puffy stickers from Pinkfresh studio that were in the same colors.

I wanted to keep some white space on the layout so I kept my photos and layers in a tight line and anchored them with the the large chevrons stamped on a paper from Up in the Clouds with the V for Chevron stamp. It's a little busier than what I might normally create, but I love how it came together!

Supplies Used: Pinkfresh Studio- Up in the Clouds collection. Winnie & Walter- V for Chevron stamp set, Big Bang Confetti stamp set, Triangled Creative Screenings.
