Just Us Layout

Just Us Layout 

By Sue Smyth

Today I will share my latest layout for Couture Creations. To create the mixed media background, I have embossed 3 panels of white cardstock. Then trimmed them to fit my 12 x 12 panel. Adhere to the blue cardstock background and roughly brush over with gesso, and crackle medium. Once dry, spray with glimmermists randomly.

To cover the Tattered Lace panels, spray with spray adhesive, and then coat with brown glitter. Allow to dry and attach to layout, then place photos over the top.

I have cut out the Bird house in cardstock and embossed with Gold embossing powder for shine.

I have added lots of fibre and beaded trim, if your trim is not the right colour, spray with Glimmer mist to match the layout background.
