Damsel in Distress

Kathi here today to share a new layout with you. 

I started this layout by prepping the canvas with white gesso. After the canvas dried I took the brick wall and used it has a mask. I placed it on the left side of the layout. Spreading speckling with a cake spatula. I carefully removed the brick wall to allow it to dry. I then washed the brick wall in order to use it again on a second project.  Repeated the process on the right side of the layout using the chicken wire. On the right I only went up half way with the speckling then spaying the top half with lindy stamp gang spray. Then carefully removing the stencil to wash it in order to use it again

I then arranged the paper, distressing the edges, the paper was glued down using Mod Podge. I placed the 8” dollies under the photo mat.   I then cut a gear dollies in half and tucked them into the side & the bottom of the paper. 

On Laser Chipboard, the boarder stick & some of the gears, were painted with black distress paint. The wrought iron fence & the rest of gears Black UTEE was used. On the Eiffel tower gold UtEE was used then distressed with metallic rub on. 

I placed a boarder stick in the middle of the Eiffel tower a long with a metal Q at the top of the Eiffel tower. 

The flowers were prepped with white gesso and set aside to dry, then they were placed around the photo mat.

I placed the wrought iron fence on top of the chicken wire. Then I placed the Eiffel tower to the left side on top of the brick wall. 

The paper line has a butterfly in the pattern. I took an extra piece of the paper line & cut out the butterfly then placing the butterfly on top of the butterfly on the paper, making the illusion that the butterfly is flying. 

A chandelier was painted with UTEE , a mixture of gold, platinum, black & bronze. I then placed the chandelier was placed above the butterflies.

Every Pictures Tells a Story

This is a 12 X 12” layout -  The base paper is by graphic 45  black with tan dots.  I created on the left side out of coordinating paper a border then I layered a corrugated strip on which I layered a laser chipboard. The corrugated strip was brushed with white gesso.  

The laser chipboard (movie camera) was layer with a piece of the paper that was fussy cut around the chipboard. Parts of the movie camera was painted a combination of black & silver to creating an older look to the camera. 

The film strip was painted black with red metallic leafing.   A rose was placed in the center of the filmstrip.   

The rose was frosted on the tips using white gesso. 

The Word & Phrase was painted with distress paint “antique linen”

Garden Tag

The garden window was prepped with gesso, distress paint  then covered with a clear distress glitter. 

 .

Behind the layered ladies and the upper garden window intricate dollies were placed. Then flowers were added beneath the right garden window next to the slender pocket. Glossy accents was added to the top of the ladies which make them appear larger.
