Hello! Hope you’re all having a great week. Today I’m sharing a bright, happy layout.
I started with the following materials.
Helmar Foam Glue
Helmar Craft and Hobby Glue
Helmar Fray Stoppa
Helmar Decoupage Glue
Dylusions ink sprays
Echo Park Beautiful Life collection
Echo Park Here and Now collection
My Mind’s Eye enamel dots
Kaisercraft cardstock
WRMK twine
Flair button
red fine liner
To begin with I flicked Dylusions inks over a piece of white cardstock.
I didn't measure anything, I like a random look!
I cut out a kite shape from another piece of white cardstock then a slightly smaller one from red card stock.
Then I cut out an even smaller kite shape using the striped paper from Echo Park’s Beautiful Life collection and cut that piece into quarters.
I gathered all of the kite shapes and sewed around them with a running stitch.
I glued them together using Helmar decoupage glue, one smaller piece on top of the other and used foam dots on the striped paper to give it some dimension.
Next, not measuring again; I cut out triangles for the kite’s tail and used the same pattern, white, red then stripes. Gluing them together again with decoupage glue.
I placed the kite to the right of my 12×12 cardstock and made a tail from twine,
I dipped the twine into Helmar craft and hobby glue and waited a few mins for it to feel tacky –
making it much easier to manipulate into circles on the cardstock.
At the end of tail I used Helmar fray stoppa.
Next I glued the triangles beside the twine tail.
Then I glued my photo, journaling and embellishments onto the white cardstock,
I used Helmar foam glue on the flair button and it worked really well.
Lastly I drew a border and added some enamel shapes. Here it is all finished, I love it!
