Together – Layout by Christine David

Hi everyone!
For my last creation in September I made a colorful layout with a mix of the Vintage Artistry In the leaves, Mango and Hike More collections. i love all these beautiful vibrant colors!!!

You start to know me, I start with a layer of clear gesso over the entire surface of the background paper to be able to play with my inks and mediums. I made patterns with a stencil and chalk paste. I continued with golden green ink, I made big spots of colors and lots of drops. I have framed the photo with the new Vintage Artistry Essentials – Whitewash Chipboard Frames. Under the photo I put a piece of the Vintage Artistry Mango Ephemera Stacks package and a circle cut from a 6×6 paper from the Vintage Artistry Mango collection.

The bouquets of flowers now are my favorite part. I used 3 colors of flowers, a few flowers cut from a sheet of cutting elements still from the Mango collection. I also added flowers that I cut from a sheet of Vintage Artistry In the Leaves washi tape. I colored them with watercolor zig brush pencils and water. I decided not to remove the plastic wrap under the washi tape so as not to stick it on the bottom of my page, I wanted it to give relief to my page.

I added plastic foliage and several laser cuts. On the two small tags I added rub-on of foliage and I put a small jute cording. On the background around the elements I put lots of rub-on pieces of different colors. I stamped writing here and there with the Springtime Harmony stamp and black Archival ink.

I finished with lots of drops of white ink.
