Hi
everyone, I have a new layout to share today for Bella Blvd. This week is ‘Mom’
week and we are celebrating Mother’s Day with our projects. I choose to
scrapbook a photo of me and my little two year old boy, Theo. He is always
saying ‘mummy’, it is his absolutely favourite word and I hear it so many times
every day! He is also giving me a kiss in the photos – super cute!
I choose a
monochrome colour scheme of blues and black. I picked out some mixed media
colours to use and created a background on a sheet of white. I applied the
paint with the packaging technique, added splatters and also some big drips. I
used Shimmerz Paints: Refresh Mint, Boogie Boardin’ Blue, Steely Blue Eyes,
Oakie Bear Blue, and Hint of Mint.
While my
background was drying, I started to make some folded hearts. I picked out four
colours from the Bella Besties Freehand Graph and dot pack: Black, Blueberry,
Ice & Gulf. I cut these into small pieces of 3x4”, 4x5.5” and 2.5x3”. I cut
one of each size from each of the four colours. I rounded off the ends and then
concertina folded the rectangles. Once folded I then folded the concertina
strip in half and glued the inner edges together using a hot glue gun. Once dry
and fanned out, this creates a super cute folded heart! I repeated this technique
for all the rectangles and ended up with three different sized hearts in each
of the four colours.
I arranged
the folded hearts onto my mixed media background, together with my photos which
I printed in black and white. I stuck all the hearts to the background with a hot
glue gun to make sure they stayed in place! I had a few gaps in between my
folded hearts so took a tiny heart punch and scraps of the same papers, and
punched lots of tiny hearts which I glued in between the folded hearts and
above and below them too.
I then
pulled out the same four colours of Florence alphabet stickers: Black, Blueberry,
Ice & Gulf. I added the word ‘Mummy’ in each colour in the same area of
colour on my layout. I also added a few hearts from the Florence alphabet
stickers too.
I added a
few hearts and arrows from the Trinkets packs in Black, Blueberry and Ice &
Gulf and I finished off with my journaling, some more splatters and some large
drops of black ink.
Thank you
so much for joining me today and I hope you like how this layout turned out.
Happy
scrapping
Niki xx
