I used colors from the September Color Kits Collection:

To make this page, I stenciled Prima Platinum Texture Paste with a small spatula onto watercolor 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 sponged on white gesso as needed to try and balance the colors. I rubbed on pearl mica powder on the white gesso, and gold onto the raised areas all over the page.

I painted on Black Hole on the background  to balance it with the photo. 

To add visual interest I added microbeads, seed beads, glass beads,sequins,pearls,gold leaf, feathers, 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.

To make this page, I stenciled Prima Platinum Texture Paste with a small spatula onto Blue Fern 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 sponged white gesso on the paper around the photo. This was so I could have a white background to paint on. 

 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.

I painted on Black Hole on the background  to balance it with the photo.

To add visual interest I added microbeads, seed beads, glass beads,sequins,pearls,gold leaf, feathers, crystals, glass glitter,dried flowers, tulle, and bling and metal from my stash. 

      Many of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.

Desert Sunset Using the September Color Kitz Bundle

Hey all, Nicole here today sharing my layout using the September Color Kitz Bundle.  I am documenting a beautiful sunset we saw on our walk in August!

The first thing I did for this page was to use my paints to make my own version of the sunset on the background.

I then used some papers from the kit and fussy cut out the details and added the strips to the layout with foam tape.

I then finished my layout by clustering together all the embellishments from the kit.

Thanks so much for popping on to read about my layout!  I also have a process video for this layout that you can watch here: Desert Sunset Process Video

 

You can grab the kit here: September Color Kitz Bundle

Don't forget to use my name Nicole in the shopping cart notes to get a free gift!

 

Until next time, Nicole Santos
