To make this page, I stenciled Prima Platinum Texture Paste with a small spatula onto 49 and Market paper. I taped on watercolor paper under the image to make it stronger and to lie flat,and made a mat also. I took a piece of corrugated cardboard,ripped the paper off, and brushed on white gesso.
I sprinkled on ultra thick embossing powder into the wet gesso and heated it with a heat gun.
 I added layers of corrugated cardboard in between the layers, and glued on beads and other items.

 I brushed on Shimmerz Paints.I rubbed on pearl mica powder on the white gesso, and gold onto the raised areas all over the page.





To add visual interest I added microbeads, seed beads, glass beads,sequins,pearls, crystals, glass glitter, tulle, and bling and metal from my stash. There are some fussy cut images from Graphic 45 papers.
      Many of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.

Happy Halloween Scrapbooking Layout Using the October Color Kitz Bundle

Hey all, Nicole here with a spooky fun scrapbooking layout using the October Color Kitz Bundle.  I am documenting me and my girls making some haunted gingerbread houses last year for Halloween.
 

The first thing that I did for this layout was to make these mixed media flowers.  I covered a watercolor paper with the orange and pink colors from the kit and then sent it through my cricut to cut these flowers.

Next I paper pieced my pattern paper and my photos on the page.  I then added the flowers to the upper right and lower left corners of my page.  I used black sequins from my stash to add the middle of the flowers.
 

I added embellishments from the kit to my clusters as well as a haunted house and a title piece.  I finished with my journaling and some Black Hole splatters.

Thanks for popping in to read about this layout.  I hope it gives you some ideas on how to use your kit!  You can find the kit here and don't forget to use my name in the shopping cart notes to get yourself a free gift with your order:

Until next time, Nicole Santos
