"A Moment Captured"
Layout By Di Garling

Well hi there & hello. Thanks for calling by.
Di Garling here with you today with another layout to share &
it goes without saying that I have used some amazingly beautiful
pieces of my favourite
2Crafty chipboard.

2Crafty Chipboard Used...
Corner Swirly Heart Set
6" Mandala #3
Mini Flourish Bits
Frame Chain Circles
"A Moment Captured" title


To start off I base coated all my chipboard pieces with a coat of white acrylic paint.
Next up for the "Swirly Heart Corner" I simply gave it an extra coat of white
to make it really snow white so it would stand out on my page.

I did exactly the same process on the "Frame Chain Circle"
which I placed on top of my photo.


For the "6" Mandala" that I tucked in behind the top left of my photo & also
for lots of the pieces of "Mini Flourish Bits" that I tucked into the flowers
around my page, after the coat of white acrylic I then finished them off by a wipe
over with some brown Distress Ink & then a very light spray of water which
makes the Distress Ink go runny & kind of patchy which is just the look I was after!!

A really great technique to remember !!



For the "A Moment Captured" title I then followed up with a sponge
over of some blue acrylic paint & then finished it off by sponging
on a little more white to give it an extra shabby chic feel.

Hope you like my layout today.
Until next time......
