Hi everyone! I hope you had a fabulous Christmas!!
Today I am sharing my latest layout for 7 Dots Studio, that you can find HERE.
We have had a postal strike here recently which has played havoc, so I am still
waiting
for my new 7 Dots Studio papers to arrive so I worked instead with the
I worked with my off-cuts for this layout
& pasted onto the background pieces
of patterned paper from ‘”Night’s Fever”,
which as you can see incorporates
many different shades of colour, making it
perfect for cutting up!
To build up my background I also used the
negative area from one of the Illumination
Sticker sheets {the part left on the sheet
once the stickers are all removed}. You do
not have to wait to use up all the stickers
first though as you can carefully remove
this background area from your sticker
sheets & your stickers will still remain in tact
on the sticky background. I use this
area of stickers all the time as it adds another
interesting textural layer. I love too
that it means there is less waste!!
I added some stamping to my background as well, using my favourite
number strips stamp from the Nature Walk Collection as well as another
favourite from the Cold Country Collection – It is just a part of a much
larger stamp but I like to use it as a sun shape by placing my finger
behind that area when stamping. I think it makes a great accent!
I used some words from the Illumination 6 x
12 inch die-cut sheet
to decorate my page. So I ended up using 3 totally different
collections
on my page! A lot of Dreamer, a bit of Illumination
& a pinch of Cold Country!!
The GREAT thing about 7 Dots Studio is that
everything can look good together!!!
To blend things together & tie in with
my photo I used a brick mask stencil together
with some modeling paste then sprinkled
embossing powder into the wet paste.
I hope you enjoyed my page today & it is
time to wish you all a very happy
2015! HAPPY NEW YEAR!! See you
again in January :)
