{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.

{crafty} Pinkfresh Studio April Blog Hop

Hello there! Welcome to the Pinkfresh Studio April 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 have so much fun playing with these embellishment kits that I often use nothing else on a layout besides some essentials, yes that includes paint and mist for me! ;-)  I did pull in a few small pieces from the Up in the Clouds collection and previous kits here as well.

I used the die to cut out several frames from a watercolor background I created and then used the coordinating stamp set to border each frame and add sentiments.

The wood veneer designed by Wilna Furstenberg is just gorgeous! I colored it in with Tim Holtz distress markers and then sprayed a little water on it to bleed the color.

 Leave a comment below and on each stop along the way to enter to win the full April kit! And don't forget to stop back at the Pinkfresh Studio blog and comment on your favorites from the hop for your final entry! The winner will be chosen Wednesday the 22nd.
