Explore-Scrapbook Layout


Explore, using the Botany Summer papers by Fabrika Decoru, fabrika woodwork too, impasto paint, all from Louise at Thompson craft supplies
 couple of random stencils, sorry cant remember the make, leaf die by Lady E.
just love this photo, Loki looking for bugs, when these papers arrived i knew they would be perfect for this layout.
Loki is very much an outside boy, but was fed up with mum trying to take photos until she said "there's a bug"
his fave thing looking for bugs!!


I used two of the impasto paint mixed with a heavy body paste through two different stencils for my back ground with some splattering of ink ( you cant really see that in these photos)

i then cut strips ranging from 1 to 2 inches wide from about 4 of the patterned papers, distressed the edges with my craft knife and layered them horizontally and vertically until i was happy with the layout.



i stuck my photo down (mounted on white) with 3d foam pads and sd gel, leaving space round so that i can tuck my other elements under the photo if i want to.
i then fussy cut some of the flowers and die cut some leaves, i layered them, some on top, some underneath, rearranging until i am happy, then stuck them down, some flat some raised and overlapping.

i then painted my explore in the impasto paint and cut out my "beautiful nature" also in this paper range.

oh and a finishing touch of the flower which is a pretty gets gritty flower that i have coloured  with a little ink and water to match the papers .
