"Journey" Layout by Marie Sabatier

 Hello everyone,

I present to you my second inspiration for this month of October: a layout with photos 

of my grandson taken this summer, contemplating a pond with turtles. He was fascinated!

"Journey"

The chipboard used:

- Thin Hexagon Stacked Frames

- Thin Square Stacked Frames

- Foliage Set 2

- Journey

I start by applying a coat of white gesso to each particle board.

To frame the photos I use a “Thin Hexagon Stacked Frames” and a “Thin Square Stacked Frames”

They are simple while bringing fantasy through their design to this layout which I wanted to be very refined.

I applied Lindy's Gang inks in shades of green to the foliage, using a brush equipped with a reservoir.

I position them around my photos to have a visual impression of extension in relation to the decor 

of the photos. I add splashes of white gesso to obtain a less sharp effect.

"Journey"

I chose this imposing title which fits perfectly and which illustrates this moment when my grandson 

is lost in his thoughts. It is decorated with a single coat of “matte white” acrylic paint.  

    I am hoping that this layout will be a source of inspiration for you.

Thank you very much for your visit!

Marie

still exposing some of the raw chipboard...

One of my all time FAVOURITE chipboard pieces are these delicate Angle Wings,
which I heat embossed purple..... they turned out FANTASTIC!

2Crafty chipboard list

-Moment Loopy Font

-Circle stack

-Curly Feathers

Here's my tutorial 

And some pictures....

I used black pan pastel to add color on my white cardboard.
After, I used stencil and modeling paste to add some words.

I used embossing powder half white and half black on the title ''moment'' and on the "feathers".

For the "Circles", I just painted them with gesso. 

You can see that as always, I added some gesso and water drops.

''Journey''

For my second creation this month, a winter one...

2Crafty chipboard list

-St. Nicks Snowflakes

-Linear Snowflakes

-Birds set

-''Journey''

Here's the second tutorial

I played with ink spray on watercolor cardstock.

I used sa tencil with black gesso for the trees. And, as a second step,
 I used plastic microsphere half melted to add snow texture.

I painted the title ''Journey'' and the "Birds set" with white and black gesso.

The two kind of "snowflakes" were painted with white gesso.

I also added some gesso+water drops to make an effect of falling snow.

Thanks for stopping by ...

See you back here soon.

Angie's Vines
Key Set Mini's
Mini Word Set 2

Some close ups...

To design my background I used modeling paste with a stencil. When dried, I colored the background with some Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays and made a few splatters of ''White'' 13arts Splash ink.

 I heat embossed the ''Angie's Vines'' chipboards with ''Oakleaf Olive'' Lindy's powder. The little key and the key lock chippies from the ''Key Set Mini's'' and the title were also embossed with
''Spring Leaf Chartreuse''.

When everything were glued down, I added some microbeads in ''Bronze'' with gel medium.

 ''Enjoy Your Journey''

And the second one was made with 13arts paper from the
 ''Mental Vacation'' collection and Petaloo flowers.

You can see the procedure on my VIDEO...

I based my page on the Mixed Media & Art January challenge.

And a closer look on the details...

I gave texture on the background with modeling paste and a stencil.
Then, I used some Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays to color my page.

I heat embossed the ''Flourish 2'' and the title chipboards with ''Hollyhock Scarlet Plum''
Lindy's powder. The butterfly from the ''Marianne's Butterflies'' set and the ''Curly Panel'' chipboard pieces with ''Hibiscus Rose Orange''.
