Another Brushed layout

Today I have another layout using the Brushed paper, Lagoon Hearts Washi tape, D1627 Your Own Kind of Wonderful stamp set, Black, Pixie and Ruby inks, and some Aqua dots.

This is an easy layout to put together and is a beautiful result I think anyway. 

To stamp the large butterfly I used the 2 step stamping technique. That is done when you have a solid image and a detailed stamp of the same shape.  Stamp first in your lighter color. In my case I stamped in Pixie. Then take the detailed stamp of the same image and stamp on top of your solid image. I used Ruby ink for this. Add some  pretty Washi tape and Aqua dots to further embellish and you have a beautiful layout ready for some pictures.

I hope you enjoy this one.

Thanks for stopping by.

See you next time.

Brushed WOTG layout

I love the colors and designs in the Brushed paper pack from CTMH. They have the paper pack and an option of buying a workshop pack as well. This layout is from the workshop pack which includes a beautiful stamp set to. 

It was a fun layout to make because it uses a couple different techniques to complete the layout. If you look closely one thing that was done was to cut one of the overlays from the CTMH Artbooking cartridge and use it as a stencil. I took a dauber with canary and pixie inks and made the diamond shapes. Also with the Artbooking cartridge the photo frames were cut. The title, butterflies, leaves and journal boxes were all stamped with the special stamp set included with this workshop kit. For the butterflies I inked the stamp with daubers and canary and pixie inks and then stamped on the Cricut butterflies. That is an easy way of getting more than one color on a stamped image.

To finish it off I embellished with the Brushed assortment flowers and some topiary striped washi tape.

Now I just need to get my pictures on and finish the journaling.
