Lasting Impression August 16, 2014 Mixed Media Layout Class

Here are layouts we did last Saturday at Lasting Impressions.


Layout 1
This made this layout using a 12x12 arylic for my base. I use prima butterfly stencil and viva decor 3d stamp paint (white) for my background. Viva decor 3d stamp paint (gold) to color the edges. 


Here, I also use Tim Holtz reverse stamp for the background.


On this cluster, I added paper flowers and leaves, resin, metal pieces and some sticker then I added some gold 3d stamp paint on random areas.

Here are some fussy cutting I did, added some small flowers then painted gold 3d stamp paint to some areas of the cut outs.


Layout 2.


For the background, I used pabeo sand textured paste then added some silver crush glitter. After drying I painted it with gold drawing ink

On this cluster I added flowers, resin, paper straw and some layered papers underneath.


Layout 3.
This is a simple layout created using simple techiques. 

Beautiful resin pieces altered by adding embossing powders.

For the background I use stars stencil. I also use 3 colors of chalk inks to creat this background using baby wipes to spread the chalk inks.



Layout 4.
Here I use my favorite picture of me and my son... just cant help it to smile everytime I see this photo.
This is also a simple layout created with stenciling and stamping.

Loving sequins right now.

Tried out this new product from Lasting Impression. Viva decor trasparent crackling paste. Just love the effect of this medium.
