A Moment Captured

Hello Happy Scrappers

I know it has been a while, but the time has just flown and its Summer 😃
Today I am sharing a “Kodac” moment.
My son was playing on his tablet and he looked up and saw me with the camera
Gave me a few poses – This rarely happens so this is a Moment Captured.


I had so much fun making this page, using different mixed media elements and some
Resin embellishments I made.
I have listed the products below

So to start here are the steps:



                             

I mixed some Jade Alchemy wax with White Gesso to make the colour paste I want for 
the stencil. I cut out my photos and matted them on card stock. I pulled out the resin 
embellishments I wanted to use.

I prepped my paper with clear gesso and dried the page. I dry brushed some white gesso 
on the page. I stenciled my Jade mix and using a different stencil I used white modelling 
paste.


Let the first layer of paste dry.
I used Black gesso with a sponge on a stencil to break the light colours, I added strips of 
Mutton cloth. I placed some elements on the right of the page to get an idea of where the 
photos will go and where I want to place the big part of the ensemble and the small 
collection.  


 I glued down the photos using foam to add height to one or two of them. I glued down
some of my embellishments (die cut from card stock/mirror card and resins). I stuck down 
a few small strips of red washi tape.




I covered the photos so I could add the spray inks (Lindy’s), Lindy’s Magicals and using a 
brush to apply and spritzing with water, and some splatters with Black Gesso. Use a heat 
gun dry where I could so the page does not become to wet. And by drying the water quickly
with the inks the patterns that form are amazing.
  
 
I used Alchemy wax – Jade and Bronze, to highlight the black resins and die cuts. I added 
a few transparent word stickers and some printed words (I like to copy words or sayings 
I like and then print them when I need them – comes in handy to have your own ephemera)

And Ta daaaa……           Just love how it came out.



Here are a few close ups. I added some self adhesive half back pearls (white) and used the 
Bronze Alchemy wax to colour them. And lastly dry brushed with white Gesso. 




I hope you enjoyed your visit and feel inspired to go and create something special.
