May Inspiration with Kelly

Hello, everyone! Kelly here today to share a couple of layouts I created...

Pure Happiness

This layout was created for this month's challenge - using the sketch, a stencil, and pinwheels. I started with the Bittersweet paper from the All Is Love collection, because the beautiful pink went so well with my photos. I used a stencil on my background, first using the Ayeeda Modeling Paste, let that dry, then misted with the Violet Pearl mist, using the same stencil. After that was dry, I went back and did more masking with the Ayeeda Gesso.

 I built up my layers, starting with some pieces cut from the Frosted Life papers. I followed the sketch, but used two photos instead of three. I built up my flowers clusters, cutting pieces from the Love Letters paper, and created two hand made pinwheels to go along with the challenge.

As an afterthought, I cut the bricks from the Big Love paper, and tucked them  in around my photos. I brushed them with gesso, some of the Violet Water Based Ink, and a sky blue color that I created by mixing the gesso, Pearl Sky Blue, and Pearl Green mists. I just mixed the three together until I got the perfect color to coordinate with my page.

Life Is So Beautiful

This layout was created using the Frosted Life collection, along with many of the 13 arts Media. The background was created using torn strips of paper, tulle/mesh which was adhered using the Gel Medium, and then the Ayeeda Gesso which was applied randomly by a palette knife. I used a bit of the Modeling Paste through a stencil, as well. I used a few colors of mists and the water based inks, as well, for the background and also to color the flowers and chipboard.
