"Love at Christmas"
Layout and video by Marie sabatier

Hello everyone,

I was inspired by this photo by ameriadesignstudio to create this layout.
The photos she creates inspire me, and this one guided my layout. Even though Christmas isn't quite here, I already enjoy using chipboards to immerse myself in the atmosphere.

"Love at Christmas"




The chipboard used:


      
I wanted to try a new technique for decorating chipboards.
I'm starting with these beautiful "poinsettias." I love them!
I use 49 and Market liquid inks with a water brush. Simply apply the ink to the chipboard, adjusting the amount of water to achieve different color intensities.


I use the colors "Strawberry Pie," "Watermelon," "Green Jean," and "Rainforest."
After positioning the photograph, I create embellishments on either side using the poinsettias, also incorporating holly twig branches and wire stars.


I apply white gesso to highlight the title "Love at Christmas" and the stars. 
Two layers are applied to the title to increase its brightness.



I hope you liked the layout; I enjoyed making it!
