Handsome - Laura Gilhuly

 Hi everyone!

Laura here today to share a layout I created of our oldest!


2Crafty Products used;


Mini Dotty Bits
Decorative Poles
Foliage Set 12
Mini Word Set 4



After prepping the paper with clear gesso, a stencil with texture paste and colorants I started
to alter the fantastic chipboard.



I wanted the chipboard to look color washed, almost a tie dye effect.  I covered each piece with white gesso then allowed them to air dry.  I used yellow ochre Brusho powder, and magicals powder in shabby turbine teal and rusty lantern line.  I brushed a bit of each colour on then spritzed with water.  I added more colour where needed then allowed to air dry.  I lightly inked the outside of each piece with torched timber ink



I wanted the title to be slightly different from the other pieces so I inked it with peacock feathers distress ink.


Hope you feel inspired, see you again soon!

Laura
