Winter Brrr by SUE CREASE

Hello and thank you for stopping by today.

I am sharing over on The Mad Scrapper Blog today this Winter layout. I have used the gorgeous new papers from Maja Design called bohemian* Harmony

I started by taking a sheet of  Kaisercraft  Base Coat showing the B side of Wicker. Then I took Maja Design's  Monochromes - Tropical - Jasmine  and cut to 11x11, lastly I took Bohemian Harmony - Enjoy today  and trimmed to 9.5x9.5.  All edges were inked with Vintage Photo   and then distressed. I made up a mixture of  WHITE  GESSO  with  blue and silver paint added to it as well as snow glitter and passed it through a Tim Holtz Layering Stencil - Bubble  and Bramble Fox stencil #24. You can see I gutted the Jasmine paper so not to waste it.

Then I took a Winter Forest Small  and a Geometric Panel  both by Dusty Attic and painted them with the same coloured gesso as the dots above. You can see better the Base Coat paper I used, you may have some in your stash too.

I also got ready to make a few flowers to add to the page out of Foamiran along with a tag cut from burlap which I backed with some Bazzill Basics  in sable colour for stability. I also cut out leaves using papers from the Bohemian Harmony 12"x12" Collection Pack which is what I bought, and some glitter paper.

    

So once all embelishments were made and gathered together it was time to make up the page. First up was to place the geometric panel down on the right side, I also added a feather under the corner. You can see the dots I have added in this photo.

I printed my photo and stacked it on 3 papers from the collection twisting each layer as I went, I put foam under to raise it from the panel. You can see I have added another snippet of the panel to balance. You can also see the Brrr prespextive I have added and a couple of little golden hearts.

Here is a closer look at the cluster I have placed to the right of my photo. You can just see the tag and trees along with the flowers and leaves I have made.

In this next photo you can see the main perspextive title Winter. I tucked another feather under the photo to give a nod to my coat hood.

To finish off the layout I added snowballs, glitter and splatters of white gesso. Again thanks for stopping by today. Stop over if you can soon to themadscrapper.co.uk as there are always new products arriving.

Take Care

Sue.
