Capture the Fleeting Reality by Karine Gagnon

Dear crafty friends, I hope this post finds you well. I’m here today to share my monthly layout for 7 Dots Studio. When I was thinking about my layout, I thought of stepping out of my comfort zone. That’s what I did, using two pictures on my layout. I can’t remember the last time I included more than one picture on a layout. Let’s look at it.

I started out with the Hazy Days – Twilight paper. To make it my own, I used some metallic paint with the Dreamscapes – Geometry Stencil. When everything was dry, I used some black Archival ink to stamp with the Hazy Days – Clear Stamps, the Dreamscapes – Clear Stamps and the Thought Keepers – Clear Stamps. I just love to add texture with stamps. After that, I started to build my two paper clusters. I used the Hazy Days – Tags 12×12 and papers from the Hazy Days – pad 6×6, along with pages from an old book and some velum. I used pieces from the UmWow Home Grown MASH chipboards, which I painted with metallic paint amongst my clusters. To embellish, I used pieces from the Hazy Days – Die-cut Elements 6×12 with some Hazy Days – Word Stickers 6×12. I also used two flair from the UmWow Sepia Film Reel Count Down Flair kit. I hope you like my layout and it encourages you to step out of your comfort zone.
