13 arts: Summertime layout by Moira Gilowey

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing a layout with you today using some of the “Under the Stars” papers

together with “End of Summer” cutouts and chipboards.

I love this photograph of my sister-in-law and her mother sitting

on the edge of the lake in Switzerland, enjoying the sunshine and the beautiful view.

I decided to use the blues of the water and the pop of the orange umbrella

as my colour scheme, together with gold … because who doesn’t love a bit of gold!

I prepared the background of this layout by first covering it in a layer of clear gesso.

I then tore some of the paper before stamping around the edges.

Stenciling was added onto the layout with modeling paste and then,

once the modeling paste was dry, I diluted the Color Glows separately and applied these

with a paintbrush to my page, making sure to dry between each color application.

Once the colors were dry, I applied a tacky glue onto the page in places

and left it to dry a bit and get sticky. I then added gold foil to the sticky glue,

rubbing off the excess with a hard brush.

I painted some of the chipboard stars in orange and added gold foil to the rest.

I also heat embossed the chipboard title and leaves with gold embossing powder.

I hope that this has inspired you to create your own project with the

amazing 13arts papers and products.

Until next time!
