C92 WOODLANDS FRIENDS COLLECTION
12x12 scrap page ‘Cuteness’
by EWELINA GRYGLAK
For this layout you will
need:
Starlight paper C92 004
Chipboard die-cut CUTENESS
DC92 006
Stencil DS 063 C92 range
Carder’s Pack MC92 001A
Other requirements: clear
matte gesso, texture paste, colour co-ordinating gouache paint (green and
orange), white acrylic ink, various leaf design and ‘family’ stamps + black
archival ink, circle paper punch, mulberry leaves, 3d foam tape, glue
Instructions:
PREPARATION:
Paint the Chipboard die-cut
CUTENESS DC92 006 white using the acrylic ink; once dry, watercolour it green
using gouache paint.
STEP 1:
Your base page is Starlight
paper C92 004, the tree silhuettes side up. To make sure the wet mediums
don’t soak through the page, prime it with a layer of clear matte gesso (that
will make it waterproof but will not fade out the original paper design).
STEP 2:
Mix texture paste with micro-balls
to add dimension. Run the mix through the Stencil DS 063 C92 range – the tree
design only – place it closer to one side of the page.
STEP 3:
While the ‘stamp’ is drying,
sprinkle the watered-down green and orange gouache paints onto the design so
that it soaks the colour in and created the impression of various tones and
shades. Green paint on the leaves, orange on the trunk.
STEP 4:
Pick one of the sheets from
the Carder’s Pack MC92 001A and cut it into strips of various size. With black
pen, draw frames on all of them (you can do it on either side of the paper as
you will use them both when building the paper cluster). Punch circles in some
of the strips.
Once ready, assemble the
strips into a paper cluster.
STEP 5:
Once the stencilled design
and paint are dry, stamp the leafy design around the area where the paper
cluster will be attached. Stamp the ‘family’ around the whole design.
STEP 6:
Attach the paper cluster to
the page using 3d foam tape. Sprinkle more green and orange paint over the
paper cluster. Using 3d foam tape, attach the photo on top.
STEP 7:
Using double-sided tape
attach the earlier prepared chipboard CUTENESS.
STEP8:
Glue in mulberry leaves
under opposite corners of the paper cluster.
Good job!
