That sweet face / Bella Blvd DT

Good morning everyone!!

I'm back this morning to share a new layout playing with a mix of Bella products. This week my prompt was to pick three or more collections and use them on one layout. I think I did that! lol

 

I went into my scrappy room, sat on the floor and pulled a bunch of the Bella collections I have out around me. I chose my first paper, it was the multi colored one from the Oh my stars collection, I used to mat my photo strop on. Once I got that one, I pulled a bunch of papers and embellishments that matched it and went to town adding layers behind my photo and to add some texture I used a punch too.

 

I played with a lot of different papers for my layers and different collections, but I kept switching them out until I finally got a happy bunch of layers. I popped them up on some 3d foam adhesive and put my photos and layers right in the center of my layout. I figured this would give me a center, a focal point. Once I had that down I went in and added some circles I had punched out for another project I had done, I had left overs and they worked great here so I added them in, above and below my photos.

 

I liked the circles, but wanted more there, so I pulled some of the ephemera packs and sticker sheets and started to go threw them. I layered some of the stickers with embellishments and put them in and around the circles, them I popped some of them in with my photo mats and kept going. At one point I thought maybe this was to much, but nope I kept going lol.

 

I pulled out some of the gorgeous puffy hearts and added them in here and there, finished off my title with some of them wonky alphas and decided that I wanted some more purple in my layout. So I grabbed my punch again, cut off about a half an inch and then punched the entire length of my layout and added another purple tone on tone and popped in a few more stickers and tabs and felt done with this layout. I was really happy with the way this turned out and I hope you decided to have some fun with your collections, mix it up a little and play with multiple together too and see what you come up with!

Good morning everyone! 

Im here to share a new layout with you that I made using the beautiful All People All Nations collection. I love the color combo in this collection! The bright pinks, teals and yellows and then the navy add in, its just all so beautiful!

I had these two goofy pictures of one of my daughters, she loves to pose and is so quirky, but on top of all of that she is just a bright soul! She is interested in so many things and wants to constantly learn more and more. 

I love the paper that says Hope on it, the florals and colors are amazing so I wanted to use it for the majority of my background and I started knowing that, so I placed it on 3/4 of the layout.

After I got that down, I started with deciding how I wanted my pictures placed and then adding in the layers that I wanted to use. I grabbed the Boarders and 3x4's paper and started to cut it up for layers. I started placing the papers here and there behind my photos and added some of the tip-ins in with the layers. I grabbed a little white envelope from my stash and added it in to the layers too and then grabbed some of the florals from the ephemera pack and popped them in between some of the layers.

Finishing off my layout, I added my title, the beautiful Brushed words and then grabbed the words cardstock sticker booklet and added some of the little sayings around my layout. When I got to this point, I decided that I wanted a little more of a contrast between my background and white cardstock, so from the boarders and 3x4's paper I cut a strip of the navy diagonal strip and added it along the edge if the patterned paper and was done.

Hey Girl Hey, water color fun/Bella Blvd DT

Good morning everyone!!

 I'm here this morning to share with you a fun little mixed media project I made with Bella Blvd/Illustrated Faith water colors. These paints are beautiful and easy to work with, the colors blend so well and the colors are so bright!

I started my project with a circle cork wall hanging, I covered it in white acrylic paint, once that dried I used a stencil from my stash and some modeling paste and added some little doilies around the circle.

I let the doilies dry and pulled out Shanna's Favorites acrylic paints. I spritzed the whole thing with water, I grabbed the pretty, pretty pink and started adding it here and there on the cork circle, spritzing more water over the paint and tilting it here and there and letting the water run and drag the color over more parts. I went threw and did this with the dark blue and the teal as well. I loved watching it blend between the colors, blending some places into purple and bringing out the doilies on the background. 

After letting the the cork circle dry, I pulled out All people All Nations and started layering pretty papers behind my photo and fussy cutting some flowers and leaves out of one of the papers and layered them in as well. I pulled bits and pieces from the ephemera pack and shapes. I used those to create my title on the right side of my photo and then moved on to the last bit of embellishing.

I pulled out the Basic words and added a few below my photo and to the left and then went in for the Hey Sugar,Sugar epoxy stickers. I love these and I keep reaching for them on all kinds of different projects! But I added these little beauties in a few spots and loved the pop of white and was happy.
