scrapbook layout: puddles

I have one more layout to share made with the Planetarium kits. The little wood veneer clouds reminded me of this photo of my boys playing with their toy boats in the puddles after a heavy rain when they were little. I had the layout finished a while back, but waited until my navy mist arrived to finish it. The navy is one of the new Mister Huey releases with the Studio Calico Atlantic collection and it's the perfect shade of navy... just what this layout needed!

using masks on scrapbook layouts

I've been playing around with masks lately and I have the resulting layouts to share with you today! Each one uses a mask as the foundation of the design, but in three different ways. These are the three masks I used - 


First I used acrylic paint with a circle mask. I mixed some paints until I had the desired shade of green and then painted within the circles using a sponge brush. I mostly used Crate Paper DIY Shop on this layout, but the background paper is from Crate Paper The Pier.



On this layout I used a mask on white cardstock. I sprayed Mister Huey mist and then cut out the resulting chevron pattern and used it as a layer on my layout. I used the lovely new Crate Paper collection, The Pier this time.



I had fun with watercolors on this third layout about Mason's new glasses! I used watercolor papers to paint within the pattern of the mask. This layout also uses The Pier by Crate Paper.
