A Mixed Media Self Portrait
"A Moment Captured"
Layout By Di Garling

Hello there, Di Garling here with you on the blog today
with another mixed media "Self Portrait" layout I have
created using some fabulous pieces of my favourite
2Crafty chipboard.

All of the chipboard pieces I have used has simply been coloured
up with some various acrylic paints. My "go to" thing for colouring
chipboard. It really is so easy to do this & customise everything 
to match.


2Crafty Chipboard Used...
"A Moment Captured" - title
Corner Jacqui's Flourish
ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars
ATC Tiny Henri's Frame


After firstly creating my background on some white cardstock & doing
lots of mixed media, including stencilling, sprays & stamping, I then
set to work on my chipboard pieces.

I love this chippie title, "A Moment Captured" & I thought it was perfect
 to put with these photos of myself, taken back in 2005 !! Where do the years go?
I really think we need to scrap ourselves more often.

 I have also used one of their "Tiny Henri's Frames" for my little quote.
These are just a perfect size to tuck in here & there.


This flourish in the above photo, which I have tucked into
my cluster of flowers, is actually a
"Corner Jacqui's Flourish". Just because it is a corner doesn't mean
you cannot use it in a different way. 
It really is such a beautiful flourish & the perfect piece to use like this.


Lastly I sprinkled a few stars from the
"ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars" multi pack 
around my layout to add to the detail.
Viola all finished.!!

I hope you like my layout today & maybe even draw
some inspiration from it too.
