Hello Sweeties

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a new layout featuring the Vintage Summer Basic collection. And the cutie on the photo is my mom when she was 19 months old.

I stamped the background with two stamps and two Archival inks: one black, the other brown. Next, I primed the background paper with clear gesso.

I colored the background with different coral and brown inks. When dry, I added a design with a stencil and white crackle paste. I set it aside to dry naturally.

In the meantime, I die cut some leaves and flowers in a watercolor paper. I colored the leaves with brown and green inks and I kept the die cut flowers white.

I colored the edges of the petal’s roses with a coral ink. Then I sprayed water to allow the ink to fuse.

I cut a few papers to add under the photo. I glued some sisal before gluing papers and photo and all the embellishments.

To finish the layout, I added crystal glass beads and silver microbeads.
