Fun In The Sun | Mixed Media Layout

 Hello Shimmerz people!

Here's another mixed media layout!  This time, though, it's a summer-y layout, perfect for the upcoming summer. You can grab the items I used HERE and watch a process video HERE.

I began by adding clear gesso to the sheet of white textured cardstock. The gesso will allow the colors to blend together rather than seep into the paper. While it was drying, I began to prep my photos by trimming them down a bit and adding white cardstock as a mat beneath them. The smaller picture was also backed up with craft foam for dimension.

Get ready for the colorful part! I grabbed So Bluetiful, In Deep, Beach Glass, Love Ocean #9 and Sease The Day... and basically went crazy spraying and splattering them into the background. For extra colorful blending, I sprayed the colors and then lifted the cardstock up, tilting it. Set the base aside to dry and began to look for all the embellishments.

These embellishments are a mixture of the Sunkissed collections by Cocoa Vanilla Studios and Simple Stories. Once the base was dried, I assembled the layout as you can see in the photos and wrote in my journaling. I added a few splatters of Sweet heart to tie everything together and done!

That's it! Thank you so much for joining me today; I hope I've inspired you in some way to get your story documented. Be sure to use my name (LORIMAR) in the comments section of your next Shimmerz Order so you can receive a freebie!
