Mixed Media Scrapbook Layout

Hello and Welcome Beautiful Crafters,
 Shilpa here,
First of all, I would like to thank you all for overwhelming response to Lulupu's 2nd Birthday Celebration!! 
and
Challenge # 27
Lulupu 2nd Birthday Special

Today I am presenting you a Mixed Media Scrapbook Layout, which is made for our
 'Boss' - Karuna, with her and her dear Junior Moose's photo on it! ( just kidding, she is a lovely lady.)
And here it is..


When I was thinking what colors to use on a layout my starting point is the photo. Is there a palette I can use? Yes there is - Pink, peach, red and light green. You will find those are the colors, I've used to create a Layout.
If you stuck with which colors to choose for any creation, you can search on net,
I find these two websites very useful - Design seeds and Pinterest.
Caution - They are very addictive :-)


I've used a Mixed Media paper from Prima,for the base, which is new in the Lulupu store with fab designs. They are sturdy to take any abuse, which works perfectly for me, as I love to use lot of mediums.
You know, how much I like texturing. So to make a background I've used Sakura modelling paste and stencil. I've applied the Lindy's flat fabio ink with my brush(didn't not spritzed), which gave me a control of ink's movement. I also stamped with the  Archival ink and text stamp. You can see this at the top right corner of LO.


The next layer is with American Craft's XoXo collection pattern papers. I distressed the edges with Comfort Craft Distressing tool (a must have for any crafter)


The chipboard letters are colored with acrylic paints. I've used lot of Prima Sugar dots on the background.


The center circle is created with white paper rope.
Embellishments - Most of the flowers are from Prima, others which are handmade are colored with LSG starburst sprays. Some diecut flourishes added the beauty. They are colored with Memento Dew drop Inks.

Let's see which are the letters I've used
L- Layers, Lindy's sprays, leaves


P - Pink and peach colors, Pattern papers, Prima flowers, Prima sugar dots, paper rope, punches, pearls, pollens
T- Texture paste,
C- Chipboard letters,Cheery lynn dies

Hope I've inspired you to create a layout for someone you love and care.
 I always like to here what you think...
Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Lots of Love,
Shilpa

Friends Forever Frame!

Hello Friends!

Are you having fun yet with us? Yes its Lulupu's second Birthday this month and the celebrations are on full swing! Do click here to have a chance to win this months Raffle!

I thought what better way than me joining the fun too and share an inspiration for the current Challenge# 27? So I got my act together and decided to work with the gorgeous papers from American Crafts Flea Market Paper collection from the store to finish this Frame lying with me for so long now :)

I worked with these letters from the current challenge for the Category 2

L - Layers, Leaves
T - Texture paste, Teal colour
C - Circles

To begin with I used a single sheet with gradient colours in teal for covering the entire frame in one go with Mod Podge. Once it was dry I used my Fingertip Control Craft Knife to neatly cut of the extras. I find the Sweetheart Distressing Tool perfect for sanding the edges for a smooth finish.

Once done i began to work with a Crafters companion Mini Punchenila Stencil and used only the hexagon patterns with the Sakura Modelling Paste with my Palette Knife to create a texture.

Once dry I enjoyes misting and spraying with Tibetan Poppy Teal and layer it with some Curiouser Chartreuse Flat Fabio. the blend looked perfect.

Now its all about embellishing it! So here is my frame before we get into more details. Its also my first try with mixed media so I hope you like it.



Remember the gorgeous collection of Prima Flowers added at Lulupu Store recently? I have used 
the Mixed Wildflower and picked made some coordinating flowers for this corner. All the flowers and leaves belong to this collection. I love this pack as it has so much variety.



For the circle element in my frame i picked this pattern paper from the stack that had some really pretty circle designs. 


I used my EK Success Circle punches to punch these out in various sizes and then create a pattern on the right side


Then I have used more misting and spraying to blend it with the background. And to complete it I have embellished with some Sugar dots! Ta Da!

There is still time for you to join us this month as we have tonnes of prizes for you to win!
