Feature Friday – Scraps Happens


Happy Friday to all of you!

Today I’ll share some tips on how to use those scraps for a layout. One way to bring smaller pieces of different papers together, is to add paint and colour on top of them.

I started out by picking a few scraps, and layering them below the photo I wanted to scrap.

I then removed the photo, glued the papers down using some double sided tape and added machine stitching. I then used the punchinella from the kit as a stencil, to add some gesso on top of the papers.

When the gesso was dry I got some mist out. I removed the lid and dipped a brush into the mist and painted it onto my background, and i also added splatters of mist.

I then wanted more yellow and decided to add some acrylic paint. You know there are paint dabbers available in the shop, don’t you?! :)

I then added the photo, some letter stickers, a small piece of tape and a couple of paper strips, to finish my layout.

I hope you’ll have a wonderful weekend and thank you so much for stopping by!
