Mixed Media Monday - 17.4.17.

Hello!
Today I have a new layout to share. This time I created layout about my husband, I don't have too many photogrpahs where he is alone, because he doesn't like to be photographed. So this time I chose rather old photo from our trip to Spain and created marine layout with fabulous March Scraps of Darkness kit 'Boys will be boys'.

For the background I used Blue Fern Studios paper. Layers are created using BoBunny journaling cards and pieces of Blue Fern Studios paper.

On the first step I stamped circles using stamp from the Elements Add on and Stazon ink. Then added texture using texture paste with sand and Kaisercraft stencil. On the next step I added color with Tim Holtz distress crayon, Lindy's Stamp Gang magicals shaker (from the main kit) and Lindy's mist and Art-C metallic paint from the old Scraps of Darkness kits.

Then all was completely dried I adhered the photo and added texture with two different micro beads and quartz topping. Chipboard was colored with Tim Holtz crayon and Art-C metallic paint, then I added stamping on it. For this project I also created cork embellishments using stazon ink and Kaisercraft stamps.

As the final touches I added sequins, stickers, pearls, rhinestones and splashes.

Four years ago I celebrate my birthday with company of my friends on big music festival 'The Best City' which was held near our city. It was so much fun and really great event. So I decided to save these memories on my new layout. For the background I used paper from Blue Fern Studios collection 'Chesterville'.

For my project I decided to use photography color scheme and circles like the symbols of light on the photography. So I used background stamp from the kit and Kaisercraft stencil with circles. I also added BoBunny Journaling Cards and stickers with music theme. Colors were added using Lindy's Magicals Shaker, Tim Holtz crayon from the kit and Lindy's mist.

I also decided to use glitter (yes, on masculine project :)) and think that it helped me to add light and shine to the background like on the background of the photography, rhinestones also worked on this purpose. Chipboard was covered with Lindy's Magicals Shaker.
