Hello Happy Place by Tammy Klingner

Well it's Friday already, which means it's my turn to share.   Today I have a layout created with a bit from here and a bit from there! I often do that...... It starts with whatever leftovers are on my desk, and pretty much builds from there.  

  This week I had 2 papers on my desk which I hadn't used when I had used Kaisercraft's Boho Dreams Range.  The black and white stripe is my fave from that range, but as I had gone with a softer, muted layout, I hadn't used it. Also I had quite a lot of the black and white feather paper left, and I was itching to cut some of those feathers out.   I knew with the bold blacks and whites I wanted to go bold! And I wanted to go colour! So I gathered my Dylusions Ink Sprays - the colours are gorgeously bright!   I began by spritzing my page, and letting it run a little down the page. I purposely kept it to one side of my paper, knowing this was where I would add my photo.  

  I then cut out some feathers.  I dug out lots of 2 Crafty Chipboard for this one - the dreamcatcher, a feather, my title and my small word.  I coated these with gesso, before painting them in Dylusions Paint, and adding Dylusions Ink Spray too!! I wish I'd thought to take a photo of my hands!! Oh they looked awesome! Such messy fun!   After this I went through all my leftover embellishments, hunting for bold and bright colours. I found heaps!! I added these behind my photo.    I then added the chipboard and feathers, to the page. I really wanted them to look like they were trailing down my page - kinda like a dreamcatcher.  

  I just LOVE THIS page! I love the subject matter (my scrap space, complete with wine glass! LOL) I'm so happy with how it turned out.   I love mixing ranges.....you never quite know what you are gonna get!   Products used: Kaisercraft Boho Dreams Paper - Feathers Kaisercraft Boho Dreams Paper - Young Bella Boulevard Valentina Paper = Love Kaisercraft Finders Keepers Paper - Treat Photo Play Run Like a Girl Stickers Simple Stories Carpe Diem Frames Fancy Pants Happy Place Ephemera Pink Paislee Fancy Free Ephemera 2 Crafty Hello 2 Crafty Christmas Mini Word Set 2 2 Crafty Dreamcatchers 2 Crafty soft feather set Dylusions Paint - Fresh Lime Dylusions Paint - lemon zest Dylusions Ink Spray - Lemon Zest Dylusions Ink Spray - Polished Jade Dylusions Ink Spray - Postbox Red Dylusions Ink Spray - Fresh Lime Gesso
