Check out the beautiful layout using our February sketch by design team member, Jenn Shurkus!
i typically make cards. I love to scrapbook, but with all the classes i teach etc. i just don't always find the time. So, I was *super* excited when this month's sketch totally inspired me to create a layout!! I envisioned this heart in my head before i even sat down at my crafty table.
I took a piece of water color paper and created a beautiful background using the Radiant Rain Luminarte Color Concentrates (red poppy & hot cinnamon) and Radiant Rain Shimmering Mists (egyptian gold). Heat set in between layers to really add dimension to your projects!
Then i tore the paper into little squares and attached them in the shape of a heart with claudine hellmuth's matte medium, i wanted them to be lifting up in spits, not flat on the paper.
To create my journaling block: I used my Ranger craft sheet, and added some of the same luminarte product as i used to color my background above, but then i spritzed some water on it. Taking the cardstock and "blotting" it into the "puddles" of luminarte. Again, heat set in between blotting again. it adds layers to your project and really makes the shimmer POP!
Hope you enjoy these fun techniques!
What a great idea Jen! Super duper cute layout!
