Amanda here today sharing a super fun layout with you all!

This is my final guest designer post here at The Aviary, 

so I wanted to share a mixed media scrapbook layout!

Hope you like it.....

"Treasured Memories" layout

I love this! So bright, fun and oh-so-cool too!

Lots of mixed media juiciness here! & how cool are those stamps?!!!

So  do you want to know how I created this lil number?

Well, it's so easy I can guarantee you'll be giving it a go!

Here's how.......

On white 12 x 12in cardstock

position a stencil/template and apply texture paste. 

Heat gun dry, then colour with Tropical 4pk Gelatos, as shown above.  

Activate gelatos with water (paintbrush or spray bottle works well) 

& adhere chipboard elements.

Coat chipboard thoroughly with gelatos, and this time activate with a coloured misting spray.

Allow colours to run!!! 

Once dry, commence the stampy inky fun! 

For boldness & a super striking effect,

I used a black permanent ink for all my stamp work on this layout.

I started by stamping my background with Art Textures Stamp Set in random repeated patterns

(as shown above)

Because this page is all about my two darlings 

- my lil prince and princess - 

I couldn't help but use the Crowns Stamp Set.

This stamp embellishes my page perfectly! Too cute! 

I then randomly stamped both the heart stamps from the 

Say It - Thanks Clear Stamp Set.

As you can see, it really adds to the layout.

Next, I attached my chipboard framed photo, and embellished it with a few blooms.

I used a lil black gesso on my title, and attached to page.

For my final finishing touches I added a few strands of frayed muslin.

And Voila!

 

That's how I created this super cute, inky, messy, fun layout!

Told you it was super easy! 

Hope you'll try it today!
