Hi Everyone, I am back today with a fun, quick tutorial for you using Little Birdie Crafts fabulous products. I absolutely love that everything Little Birdie creates is designed to mix and match together.
For my layout today I created a fun bright watercolour effect background using Color Splash Sprays to use as the base of my page. I used the Boho Dreams collection. I love love love the combo of hot pink and orange so was excited to finally use this collection and this photo of my baby sister and I at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary just a few years ago
(yes sadly that is me with the boy hair cut, my parents must not have like me very much back then!}
While I have added layers and texture to this layout I have kept it quite flat so that I can fit more layouts into my album
Anyway onto my tutorial
start off by spritzing the cello bag that your paper pack comes in with Hot Pink Color Splash then spritz some water and to lighten the colour
place a sheet of cardstock down and smooth over to spread the colour, dry off with heat tool or let dry naturally
Grab a cello packaging bag from chipboard or flowers, spray onto the bag Lemon Zing Color Spray and then tap randomly onto base page
The Hot Pink and Lemon Zing Color Splash Sprays create orange where they overlap to give you the three colours, remember for this technique you don't want perfection your want a random watercolour effect
next up spray lightly chipboard elements with Hot Pink Colour Splash, you don't want complete coverage
then add some Lemon Zing Color Spray to the chipboard and set aside to dry
While your Chipboard and Base page dry pull out your elements and journal cards pages and cut out the Journal card with Life is Magical and fussy cut some flower clusters.
TIP; you don't need to cut off elements you don't want to use like the unicorn head as you will tuck them under your layers
once everything is dry you can create your layers onto your base page. I have used foam tape on all my fussy cut pieces to add dimension without going too bulky.
Adhere Chipboard frame to Magical journal card
I added Sisal Fibre under my layers to add texture along with Handmade Flowers
A closer look at my clusters
I finished off with some splatters using watered down white Gesso and a Splatter Brush
