Each day this week, we'll have a new post to share- so don't forget to stop by our blog and Gina K's blog!
Using the Grateful Heart papers and Summer Blooms stamp set, I created this Autumn-themed layout featuring my son while pumpkin picking.
I started with a shape stencil ( I used the waste from an insurance card) and used Gelatos in Fall colors to create rectangles around the paper. I sprayed with water and allowed the color to puddle and drip.
Once, dry, I placed the stencil over the shape again and used a PITT Artist pen to draw a sketchy line around as a border.
Next, I used the Summer Blooms stamp set and Stamper's Big Brush Pens in coordinating shades to create some leaves around the page.
I cut some of the papers to mat the photo and created banner pieces with a ribbon end at the top of the page. I added Fall colored gems around the page for interest.
Using the PITT Artist pen in Brown, I journaled about how lucky I am to be my son's Mama! Love this time of year and all the color and how my kids love to do traditional Fall activities as a family. This line of papers and stamps complements my memories so well and the Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft products work so well with the Gina K products!
Vibrant colors! I've seen and heard great things about Gelatos Products. I would love a chance to try using them. TFS
