2 sweet layouts by Tatiana: mixed media with a bit of bling!

Hi! Tatiana here

I adore to add bling and shine to my projects and with February Scraps of Darkness kit 'Our Story' it's easy to do, because this month kit includes papers from Prima 'Love clippings' collection with rose foil accents and BoBunny foil rub-ons.

I created layout about one warm fall day in the park. For my layout I used Blue Fern Studios paper, Prima journaling cards and pieces of Prima paper with foil accents. I also added Kaisercraft glitter cardstock.

Chipboard was covered with distress marker included in the kit, I also added a little bit of bling to it with glitter. When layering was finished I added rub-ons and background stamping.

Butterflies were cut from journaling card, leaves were stamped on the cork and cut. I also added die cut leaves which were covered with two layers of embossing powder. As the final touches were added sequins, rhinestones splashes and pearls.

I used from the Main kit

This time I'd like to share layout with dark paper included in the Main February Scraps of Darkness kit. This paper is from Blue Fern Studios' Memoirs Collection.

For my layout I used my daughter's photo. I dressed her in a modern variation of Little Red Riding Hood costume and we took wonderful series of photo.

On the first step I added texture to my background using stencil included in the Elements add on and textured paste with sand. When all was dried I randomly applied transparent crackle paste and start layering.

For the layers behind the photo I used Prima paper pieces and journaling cards, I also cut doily pieces from one of Prima paper included in the Main kit. I also used scraps with notes from the magazine and Prima chipboard from previous Scraps of Darkness kit.

For my layout I also created cork embellishments. I stamped images on the cork and cut them out.

When layering was finished, I added BoBunny rub-ons, background stamping with the stamp included in the Main kit and added colour using Magicals, Lindy's mists, Jacquard paint and glitter brush pen from previous kit. At the final step I added splashes, liquid pearls, rhinestones and pearls.
