I love the oodles of layering and mixed media - I've never used the crackle paint before and I love how it looks. This is inspiring me to hurry up, get home, put on my old clothes, and start making wild mixed media layouts!
This LO was made for the following November challenges: 1) 1 & 2 page sketch – sketch #2 (loosely) 2) Journaling – cat#6 – handwritten 3) Daily Inspiration – Nov. 2nd 3 or more Circles 4) Stickers – the letters and photo corners 5) Fall back – I’m pretty sure the flower embellie is from K & Co. 6) Baker’s dozen (see details below for each item) So, here’s the how I made this LO. First. I used a dot STENCIL (#10) with TAN (#6) paint. Second, I used an embossing folder open and did random rubbings (with some tool I don’t know the name of) to emboss the pattern I thought was PLAID (#9) and then later realized it was argyle so it didn’t really count. I sanded the Core’dinations cardstock so the pattern would show. I adhered the papers similarly to the sketch. I decided to only use two photos and a TAG (#4) instead of the third photo. Next, I picked out a cute quote from a notebook of VELLUM (#12) sentiments to adhere to the tag and since it wouldn’t fit completely, I used a second tag (both tags were part of a RAK from Marci). In order to connect the two tags, I used a WHITE (#8) METAL (#3) grommet. Next, I adhered the embellishment that has the flowers and LEAVES (#1) in the bottom right corner. Then, I took a break. While I was on break, I realized that the embossing was argyle and not plaid, so I got a 6x6 sticker from my stash that was PLAID (#9) and cut it into strips. I used one of the strips to make PHOTO CORNERS (#7) and add them. The next thing I did was paint the white CIRCLES (#2) with some TH crackle paint. I was pretty shocked it was still good. For the title I used another grommet and some alpha stickers to say “THANKFUL (#13) for my family” because the photos are of my cousin and my son from 2001. Then, I added the BUTTONS (#11) and lastly, the B&W arrow WASHI (#5) tape. I double checked the list and realized I was done! It was fun to shop my stash and I felt pretty accomplished at using so many products that I had invested in. This LO took a little bit more time, but was worth the effort.
