You make me Happy.....

Good morning everyone.

 

This week I'm sharing a layout for All About Scrapbooks - the online store where I get a lot of my scrappy supplies.

 

I adore being on their Design Team and creating for them each week.

 

So this week my kids went back to school this week so I managed a bit of creative play.

 

I felt like getting a bit painty, my go to paints are Dylusions - love the vibrant colours.

 

I began by applying white gesso to my background.

 

I then got out 3 different paints - a turquoise, an emerald and a lime.

 

I kinda just added a bit of this, and a bit of that to my brush, and lots of water.

 

As soon as I saw the awesome colour combo, I knew I wanted to pair it with just simple black and white.

 

 

So I hunted through my leftover bits of Bella Boulevard and Simple Stories.

 

I created a few layers behind my photos, and then embellished with 2Crafty Chipboard.

 

I used a title, a revolution frame, clustered hearts and some little mini hearts too.

 

I painted some white, and some black. 

 

To my title I added Glossy Accents to give a high gloss/resin finish.

 

 

After I had finished I stood back, and felt it needed something else.

 

I flicked white gesso onto the page.

 

I added black paint to the border of the layout and I also swiped some black paint over the chipboard frame.

 

 

Aaah, that's better, that pulled it all together!!

 

I hope you enjoyed this layout, I sure had fun creating it.

 

See you soon!
