"#JOY"
Layout and tutorial by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all well!
This month of May inspired me to create a floral and colorful spring layout. 
The winter has been long. Welcome to spring.

#JOY




I made a video tutorials that you can watch HERE




The chipboard used:

2023s



To begin, I apply a layer of white gesso.
I used Distress Oxide inks to enhance each chipboard.
I used a "peeled paint" for the "window-shutter-set 1" chipboard. I mixed it with water to obtain a very light shade.
Next, I use the "ironworks-gate" chipboard. I cut it and only use the top half. I keep the other half to use another time. I start with "mustard seed" ​​ink, then add "picked raspberry" and "peeled paint" for a mixed media effect.


I really like this "fine-flower-photo-adornment-set-1" chipboard template.
I'm placing it under my photo.
Then I add 2022 and 2023. This photo was taken on the first day of the 2022-2023 school year.
They are colored with "picked raspberry" ink like #JOY.
And, this beautiful "loopy-heart-swirl", I think it goes well with the flower.


To add more volume to my cluster, I add "leafy silhouettes".



Watching the video is a good way to get more detail.

It's always a pleasure to meet you here!
