Melissa's Week - Step By Step

Today I am showing you a step by step process for completing this layout...

Firstly, I used the Chevron Narrow AltaMATZ (Alta009) and some Textrure Past to start the background on my cardstock.
The time it takes for your texture past to dry will depend on how thick you spread it, I used an old credit card to scrape mine over the mask.

I wanted a random look as you can see in the image above, next I took a grid and script stamp and randomly stamped over the page and masked area.

I grabbed a few pieces of patterned paper, cut them to different thicknesses and inked the edges, on two pieces I used a circle punch and cut a piece out of the end of the paper and the third piece I cut out a triangle section.

I then grabbed some other papers and cut them to different sized squares/rectangles, I love to mix and match patterns and colours.
I roughed the edges up with a Heidi Swapp distressor (one of the best tools out there!) and then inked.

I grabbed my photo and sanded the edges and adhered all of these to the cardstock once I was happy with the placement.

I have used the WOW1773 Christening title

Using my misting box I sprayed it with a pink mist and once dried I then stamped in white ink a script stamp over the top for added interest.

This is what it looked like on the page in close up...

To finish the layout off I added some embellishments, stamped a smaller saying at the bottom of the page and flicked some inks over the page...

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed the step by step!!
