Open yourself … – Mixed media layout by Pascale B.

Hello Sweeties,
Today I’m up on 49 and Market blog with a layout featuring the Curators Botanical collection. I worked with another family photo.

Open yourself ... - Mixed media layout by Pascale B.

As usual, the first thing I’ve done was to prime my paper with clear gesso. Next, I selected some elements from the Ephemera Pages and Bookplates set. I cut the biggest elements before gluing them to the background. When happy with my collage, I blended everything with a thin layer of white gesso.

Next, I added a design with a stencil and Plaster paste. When dry, I sprayed the collage with brown ink.

I added some Postage Stamp washi tape here and there. I added some touches of color with different inks to match the colors of the stamps. I added also some Stitch washi tape as well in the corners of the layout.

I selected a few Curators Essential Remnant elements to add under the photo. I added also a few stamps from the Curators Botanical Laser Cut Elements, some metallic elements, and one big flower from the Marble Majestic Bouquet.

I stamped randomly with the Rations stamp set.

 

To finish, I added some Curators Botanical rub-ons.
