...a little mixed media... AWESOME!

Today I have a layout packed with all kinds of mixed media yumminess! Here is just a sneak peak as to what to come in this post...

The background paper is Heidi Swapp Specialty Cardstock that I inked up with various Color Shine sprays... I think this is one of my favorite spray inks!

 

I used Pearlized Fragments from Stampendous for the black strip you see... I painted the black paint and then covered with a thin layer of Glossy Accents. While it's still wet you want to sprinkle the fragments on to it. Once it dried I went over it with another thin layer of Glossy Accents.

 

The purple polka dots were created with a stencil I made out of a piece of thick chipboard that held embellishments and a mixture of Modeling Paste and Acrylic Paint.

 

Now for some embellishing...

 

I made these using beer bottle caps

I flatten them with a hammer...

 

Then painted them with Black Paint & Glossy Accents... while the were still wet I sprinkled some Distress Glitter on to them.

 

I  then adhered my photo....and this is where the problem started.. I had all this and then got stuck on the layout! That is a horrible feeling... So I started surfing my fave blogs for inspiration and came across a PageMaps challenge:

 

...and this is what I came up with...

 

I am very very happy with my layout. I had so much fun creating it!

Until next time... wishing you a creative and happy day!
