Today is my turn to share some of my creations using the versatile and pretty papers from 7Dots studio.
I love this brand and I am so happy to be on this team.

Layout Keep Focus

I wanted a different concept on this scrapbooking layout: something graphic and artsy at the same time. I chose some circular shapes in various sizes and I drew the circles using a black pencil on the papers.

I adhered those circles creating a tunnel and something to give the perspective to my drawing . Using black watercolor I created some shadows.

The phrase of the subtitle was made using the Alpha Stickers from 7Dots mixing the lines. The title( Keep focus) was made using stamps in different types.

I cut out my photo and adhered using foam tape all the pieces over an acrylic base, featuring the circular shapes and giving the impression that there is not a background. Golden pens, splats of white paint and acrylic arrows complete the look of this work full of meaning at this moment of my life.

Supplies from 7 Dots Studio:

This layout is called “You and Me” and I created the background using the grid of the paper Daydreaming from Dreamer collection.

The inner of the squares were cut out and I added foam tape creating a niche with this grid. Background is love is in the air- rising of the sun.

Using colored pencils I created some shadows to feature the 3D effect on the grid. Cool right?
Hope you enjoy as much as I love to work with those papers!
