XOXO Layout



Sorry for the delay in getting some projects posted. Life got in the way of my crafting!! But I am back in my craft room and hope to get busy with lot's of fun projects. I will post as I get them done.

Today I have a layout made with all CTMH products. This one has some of my favorite colors Olive and Smokey Plum. Isn't it a pretty combination? To put this layout together I used a combination of two paper packs., Enchanted and Sonoma. I love to use different techniques when working on my projects  and for this layout I did some tone on tone stamping and making my own flowers. I stamped a cluster of designs on the left page in the upper left of the base page and another one on the Right page in the bottom right corner using Olive Ink. The flowers were made by using a leaf stamp to make a flower. I used Smokey Plum Ink. You take the large outline leaf stamp and stamp it 5 times going around in a circle. Then to fill color to the inside of the leaf outline I turned the stamp around and used the back side with second generation Smokey Plum Ink (which is a flat oval shape now) and stamped over each petal made with the outline leaf stamp.When you are done you end up with Flowers!! I made 3 large ones and 2 using the small outline leaf stamp. Now cut them out and ink the edges with Smokey Plum ink. To embellish the pages and finish the flower centers  I used the Pewter Mini medley collection. Now I just need to get the pictures on and it will be officially finished.

I hope you Enjoyed this post. I'll be back soon with another project.
