"Love" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

Today I’m sharing a new layout created in a soft and romantic atmosphere, perfect for celebrating Valentine’s Day!

The photos featured are of my son and daughter-in-law, taken almost two years ago. I chose these images for their softness and emotion, perfectly matching the Valentine’s theme and celebration of love.

"Love"

The chipboard used:

photo-adornments-love-flourish

6x4-phrase-stick-set-4

foliage-set-10

sharons-butterflies

mini-lattice-bits

    

For this project, I wanted to highlight the chipboards by giving them an elegant and subtle finish without too much shine. I first applied a thin coat of white gesso to all the chipboards to unify the surface and soften the texture. The “Love Flourish” piece was enhanced with metallic wax in Old Silver, applied lightly with my finger over the raised areas to create a luminous, textured yet refined effect.

The “Mini Lattice Bits” and the phrase from the “6x4 Phrase Stick Set 4” help structure the composition and reinforce the romantic message of the page.

The “Sharon’s Butterflies” were enhanced with a very delicate application of White Gold, applied only on the raised areas. This subtle touch allows them to softly catch the light without creating excessive shine, preserving the gentle feel of the layout.

The foliage from “Foliage Set 10” was initially colored with Lucky Emerald, adding a subtle natural touch to the composition. To soften the intensity of the green and maintain a delicate harmony throughout the layout, I layered a light touch of Old Silver over the raised details. This technique tones down the green while adding a refined finish.

For the papers, I selected soft neutral tones blending off-white, gentle greys, and touches of sage green. The floral patterns and slightly distressed textures enhance the timeless and elegant atmosphere.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

        

Treasure This Moment by Tania Ridgwell

Hi there!

Tania joining you today to share the first of my DT projects for October. 
 I have created a layout. 

"Treasure This Moment"

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Photo Adornments - Love Flourish

*6x4 Phrase Stick Set 5

*Frame Hand Drawn Heart

*Mini Branches

I have used the gorgeous Mintay 'Cottage Heart' Collection to create the base for my Layout.

I first coloured the Photo Adornment - Love Flourish & Mini Branches chippies with gesso.  Once dry I randomly sprayed Heidi Swapp Blush Color Shine spray onto them.  I coloured the Handdrawn Heart Frame chippies with Jamie Rodgers Cherry Blossom Metallic Wax and the Phrase Stick Chippie I have left raw.  

Under my photo I added a distressed paper square.  I added the large Handdrawn Heart chippie over my photo and the smaller one along the bottom right of my photo.  I added lots of beautiful paper blooms and tucked in the Mini Branch chippies amongst the paper blooms.  I added the Photo Adornment - Love Flourish chippie along the bottom left of my photo and finished of my layout by adding the raw Treasure This Moment Title along the top of my Layout.

Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all with my Layout.

  Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.
