Hello, MLS fans. Today I want to share with you 3 layouts and 1 card, using the Vintage Shop collection.
Being more a mixed media person, I decided to incorporate mixed media mediums and techniques in my projects this month. A few months ago, I purchased a digital die-cut machine, Silhouette Cameo. So I will also be using Cameo to cut some images and use in my projects as well.
I loved this Vintage Shop Collection. Simply because I love vintage and I love owl image!!! Plus my favourite pink color!!
"Love Is A Canvas" Card
For this clean card, I used Silhouette Cameo to cut out the tree card base. Then I doodled lines around the edges, add some banners at the bottom before adhere the Silhouette cut tree.
For the cloud stickers, I watercolored blue tint of color by mixing a little water with Faber Castell Pitt Artist Pen.
Supplies: Whie Cardstock (Bazzill); MLS (French Lace, Heirloom, Attic Treasures, 3D Roll Up Flower and Accents, Cardstock Sticker); Faber Castell Pitt Artist Pen; Fiskars Stamp; Foam Strip (Scrapbook Adhesives); Zig Pen; Silhouette Cameo
As you peek through the tree branches, you can see that I covered the inside of the card with a patterned paper and a owl sticker. I also added a journalling tag below.
"Owls Handmade" Layout
My favourite cardstock color is white, kraft and black as they are so versatile. So for this layout, I used black to emphasise the night flea market pictures. I painted the background and edges with white acrylic paint. Its such a simple technique to dress up a layout on a no mojo night. So you can try it out.
I also teared up several strips of papers for the background. Note that I only used one piece of patterned paper here. So not only am I building a background simply with paint, I also save on the amount of papers and embellishments here. Sometimes you do not need alot of materials to create. And I loved that MLS paper gives me this option.
Supplies: Black cardstock (Bazzill); MLS (Rose Ribbon, Cardstock Sticker); White Acrylic Paint (Folkart); AC Thickers; Silhouette Print & Cut Designs (MLS); Edge Distressor Tool
My Little Shoe box also has some digital designs with Silhouette. So I printed these 2 flowers and sized them to my preferred size and cut them out. I used these 2 flowers as a mat for my title.
"Five Owls" Layout
This is my favourite layout for this month and is dedicated to my 4 scrapbook close friends. I didn't put any photos at all here. But each owl frame represent one person. I made these frames with Martha Stewart molds and clay. Well, the five of us loved owls, hence the name "Five Owls". Meaning we called ourselves owls. Ha ha...
To create the background, I used Unity/MLS co-branded stamps, adhered some mini alpha stickers with multi-medium and misted over with Tattered Angels mists. Then I adhered strips of papers before adding the owl frames.
Supplies: MLS (Attic Treasures, Rose Ribbon, Heirloom, French Lace, 3D Roll Up Flower and Accents, Mini Alpha Stickers (Chocolate Cake, Cream, Kiss), Blue Hydrangea Muse Cardstock Alpha Sticker); Unity Stamp (MLS, feelin owl-y); Martha Stewart Molds and Clay; Lace; Pearls;AC Thickers; Ranger Stickles; Swarovski Crystals; Archival Ink (Sepia); Tattered Angels Mists; Edge Distressor Tool; Distress Inks; Zig Pen; Mulberry Flowers; Claudine Hellmuth Multi-Medium; Owls Digital Cliparts; Foam Strip (Scrapbook Adhesives)
I also added lace and rolled flowers and mulberry flowers and pearls. I love this feminine touch. Well, we are lady owls after all!
"Make & Take" Layout
To build up the design for the edges, I adhered the Muse Cardstock Alpha Stickers and mini paper clips with multi-medium before I misted them. Then I added the mixtures of texture paste, glass bead gels and acrylic paints unto a circles mask.
I layered the background with few edge-punched papers before I added photos and embellishments.
Note that I added another pop up layer of Muse Cardstock Alpha Sticker for the title. I love chipboard shapes. And here, I painted randomly the mixture of texture paste, glass bead gel and acrylic paints unto the chipboard borders too. Then I added some seed beads and swarovski crystals to it.
Here are more pictures of the last layout.
