Loved this one! So out of my element!
Here is mine. First the background was pounced with a mixture of stazon ink refills & alchohol, and after dry I stenciled the doily all over it. Thanks for the challenge.

WELL, I HOPE I DID MINE RIGHT..................... THANKS FOR HOSTING THIS CHALLENGE IT WAS FUN.................. I'VE POSTED TO THE DYI BACKGROUND CHALLENGE AND HERE JUST IN CASE IT DIDN'T GO THROUGH.................... VALERIE
I don't do a lot of mixed media, but when I saw this layout and the video, I decided to give it a try. I had a lot of fun and I will try this again!
Love love LOVE THIS! Those blues are so beautiful and the photos are lovely too!amysolovay wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 1:21 pmThanks again for the challenge, Natalie! And thanks to the folks at Echo Park for sponsoring this. This was a great motivator for me to get out my inks and stencils and work on making background papers. I made a stack of them! Can't wait to use them all. Here's the first layout I made with them:
I used the Waves stencil from the Simple Vintage Seas collection by Simple Stories. I LOVE that entire collection, but I haven't used up as much of it as I had hoped, because the colors in it clash with most of my beach and sailing photos. BUT the stencil from that collection was a really good buy for me because I can use paints, inks and whatever other media in just the right colors to create the look I need.
I do have some Echo Park / Carta Bella stencils, too, but my favorite one gets used for making journaling blocks, not so much for making backgrounds. I couldn't fit a journaling block on this page, or I would have used that stencil, too.
TFL!

I have been wanting to do this layout for a couple of months and this challenge was perfect for it. I used mists and distress inks. I used a mix of stencils, stamps and bubble wrap for the designs.

I love the perfect flower set atop the splatters! Great juxtaposition. What a cutie kitty too!
