Well it's Thursday again and this weeks challenge is a free week so I decided to post a double layout that I did using dreamweaver stencils on my page. Ok so I love, love, love sea horses, they are so beautiful and graceful. My husband and youngest daughter and I went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium to see the Sea Horse exhibit while it was there and here is part of my layout. I started by choosing a beautiful teal paper for my base, then I cut a piece of white cardstock 6x12, this is the panel I did my images on. I distressed the edges of the white panel using Ranger distress inks, Bundled Sage and Tumbled Glass. Then I hand drew in reeds and rocks and colored them with copic markers. Next I used Black Matte Embossing Paste to stencil 3 of the sea horses (LM 181), let them dry.
I used metallic F/X to add color and shine to the sea horses. The Metallic F/X I used were: Glacier, Goldfinch,and Kiwi. I really loved this layout when I was finished, so don't be afraid to use your stencils and paste on some of your layouts, just imagine what you could do with those beach themed stencils. Once again it's time to think out of the box.
I hope everyone has a blessed Christmas and don't forget to come back next week for more inspiration.
I love the sea horses and especially love the artwork you did for the sea weed. Lovely Georgia!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun layout! You did a great job with the background.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, HOW CUTE! I love using a stencil on a scrapbook layout! I taught my daughter how to paste last weekend with the pine tree stencil on a page for her Dad! Love it! I hope you have a Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteOooohhh, just WONDERFUL Georgia!!
ReplyDeleteWe went to Monterey Bay Aquarium a year ago, and saw the sea horse exhibit as well. Have almost identical photos! Loved the leafy sea dragons in that exhibit as well. Beautiful pages!
ReplyDeleteI never think of using stenciling in my scrapbooks. Great idea.
