Studio Calico - So Cal Kit

Another layout using Studio Calico's So Cal kit. I really get excited when I am able to use pink on my projects, since a lot of what I do tends, to have blue's, teals, and brown's. This layout came along pretty quickly, I have some plain cardstock left from the kit and when I was looking through my photos, I saw this one and I was wearing a pink jumper, so I thought, how perfect!!

I took some Prima flowers and glimmer misted them, I also hand cut some Graphic 45 ephemera from an older collection.

Again, super simple layout, but I love the way it turned out!

Studio Calico - So Cal Kit

I am in love with June's Studio Calico kit, I have used up almost every last piece of the kit. I think that I may have some buttons and a half sheet of patterned paper left. I am trying to finish up the kit every month before moving onto the next kit.

I adore this photo of my husband and son feeding the birds in Florida last year. I love the way the sky turned out, along with the silhouettes of my boys. The night sky in St. Pete is just amazing!! I knew that the colors in this kit would compliment the photos. Everything on this layout was from the So Cal main kit, except for the mist's, stamps and inks.

I misted the Amy Tangerine (the asterisk photo mat) paper with some Tattered Angels mists, then I took my Tim Holtz distresser and distressed the edges of the photo mat. I then took some Prima chalk ink in Teal Damask and edged the distressed edges. I really like this look, I think it gives the picture a lot of interest and really makes it pop.

Next, I hand cut the flower / leaf design out of the same Amy Tangerine paper and I used Prima chalk inks in Teal Damask and Coltfoot Stemens and just rubbed them along the hand cut out. In no particular way, I tried to color in the leafs with the teal more and the flower more in with the Coltfoot, but I wanted it to look slightly blended. Then I took some Pearl mist by Tattered Angels and spritzed it onto the cut out. I think it blended the colors even more. It turned out awesome!!

Lastly, I added Prima lace to the bottom, just to give it some dimension and I liked how it looked :) Hope you enjoyed this layout, it came together pretty quickly. I am finding that is happening more with the kits, that things come together a bit faster, since it is all right in front of me and I don't have to go off searching for things. I wanted to see if it would be the same with a mini album, so I am working on a camping mini album from the July Main kit which was Elmwood Park. Love that kit as well!! Has a much different feel then So Cal did though. Perfect for camping and park trips, anything outdoors really. I think though, I will have to rummage through my stash for this one a bit, since I like metal embellies in my mini's and have to have major dimension in them.

I will be back tomorrow with another So Cal layout!!

Hugs,

Mila

Mini Butterfly Canvas - Websters Pages and Studio Calico

I love the way these mini canvas's turned out. I used a few of my favorite things on them, butterflies, Prima bling and of course Webster's Pages. I had so much fun using using so many different techniques on them. They are small, but they pack a punch!

1. The first thing I did was take a Webster's Pages pattern paper and adhered it to the canvas using Claudine Helmuth matt medium.

2. I stamped the sentiment using Archival Ink by Ranger in black, then I took some white and yellow pastel paints and just brushed around the paper.

3. I took some Webster Pages mesh and took some modeling paste to the corners. This was so much fun! I them took some Perfect Pearls by Ranger and brushed some onto where the  modeling paste was, then I sealed it by covering the perfect pearls with Bubbles Glimmer Mist by Tattered Angels.

4. I used Perfect Pearls by Ranger on the butterflies as well.

Hope you love them as much as I do!! I explain a bit more in detail in the video below:

Let me know if you have any questions!

Websters Pages! Once Upon A Halloween!

Woohoo, I am so excited about this Halloween collection from Websters Pages, I love the colors, lime green, orange, purple. Love the owls!! Can not wait to get it into my hands. I will be doing a class in October with this collection and we will be making a Halloween frame (base of frame is wooden), as part of the class kit each attendee will be receiving their very own 6 x 6 pad of this collection. More information to come in the next few days! I am loving the cameos and the trim from his collection. The trim is so versatile, and we will be using some of it on the frame. I may be having a class on a Halloween mini album as well towards the end of October, still working out the details on that one.

Hope you have an awesome Thursday!!
