Let Life Surprise You (7 Dots Studio)

Dear crafty friends,

I’m so happy, today, to get to share with you a mixed media scrapbooking tutorial I created for 7 Dots Studio. Let's look at the layout I created.

I selected my favorite paper from the Paint Chips collection as my base for the layout. I just love the colors on this paper!

I used a ton of mediums over it to get the right shade of deep teal/greenish color I wanted. I also wanted a few spots of dark blue and some with aqua colors. You’ll see about that if you watch the video tutorial.

I went a bit crazy with stenciling and stamping to get a very textured background. I used the stamps from Dreamscapes, Hazy Days and Paint Chips, as long as stencils from Soulmates and Dreamscapes collections.I love the result.

A few papers from the 6x6 paper pad from Paint Chips to mat my picture, embellies, stickers and die-cuts and everything came out pretty simply.
