I used some thick white Bazzill cardstock as my base, and I coated it in clear gesso first. I used lots of gelatos to create some watercolor effects behind my photo. I decided to have all the numbers spaced out to the left of the photo in random order. I wanted lots of texture and color and "messiness" on this page, so I wound up tearing half the white cardstock off and layering other patterned papers behind it.
Here's a look at the gelato work. I also used a touch of some Jane Davenport Mermaid Markers I got on clearance at Michael's. I also used a few Shimmerz. I wanted most of the mixed media work behind the photo. I used a few Vicki Boutin Puffy Stickers, Chipboard Stickers and Cardstock Stickers. I also used a big "Say Cheese" die cut up above the numbers mainly because it fit perfectly there.
These cute banners are in the Ephemera pack, and I thought they looked cute down at the bottom of the page. I used some very old and cheap black alpha stickers for my title. I decided since the page was so colorful and busy, and small title was in order. Anything bigger would've just been too much, I think.
I decided to add a bit of messy color to this area in the upper left corner. I used a few gelatos to smudge some color down and wound up creating a little cluster in that area. I also machine stitched along the lines of the torn papers. I used an aqua and a black & white patterned paper on the left side.
I also felt like using a few of my border punches, so I punched a few papers and tucked them in on the sides.
Yellow always makes me happy! I added a puffy heart Thicker and a cute little camera on top of the photo along with some black tangled thread.
Here are several more photos of all the texture, color and detail...I just love it :)
Look at that holographic shine...so cool.
I hope this inspires you to get bold, crazy and messy on your next layout! This collection is perfect for that. I loved making this, and I can't wait to make another page using it.
I do have a video here showing how I made this from start to finish, so check it out!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a fabulous weekend!
