"World Traveller" PROCESS VIDEO by Tammy Klingner

Hi there creatives!

Tam here today to share my latest design...

"World Traveller"

A layout celebrating my gorgeous girl before she jumped on a plane to fly a million miles away for a month on her recent Science Scholarship Adventure!!

An amazing experience and moment in her life that I had to capture.

I've used watercolours and gone back to my brighter style.

I created a PROCESS VIDEO of this one, so you can watch it come together.

I hope you enjoy it...

I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:

NEW "Charlotte's Flowers"

"World Traveller Title"

"Heidi's Vines"

As you can see in the video, I first coated all the chipboard pieces in white gesso.

To the "Heidi's Vines" I added watercolours.

I used a mix of greens for the foliage, and red and pink for the berries.

Once dry, I added white pen marks. 

I find this gives a more realistic, and less flat feel.

To the NEW "Charlottes Flowers", I added a blend of watercolours for a variegated look.

I then tucked these in amongst the clusters.

These new flowers are really fine and detailed. I love them and can see they will be making quite a few appearances in my creations.

As I'd used a lot of different colours, I decided to coat my "World Traveller title" in white acrylic paint as this would go with the fresh feel the layout has.

There you have it!

I really love using watercolours on my chippy as it gives it an arty, washy feel.

I'll see you again next month!
