With Valentine's Day quickly approaching, I thought I would share how I created this mixed media title card for my pocket scrapbooking album using Unique Laser Design's awesome "Lips" MDF wood embellishments.
Valentine's Day Week Title Card for My Pocket Scrapbooking Album |
Let's do this!
Started with a 4x6 Piece of Mixed Media Paper |
Created a Polka Dot Background Using an American Crafts Stencil and a Chocolate Brown Neocolor II Water-Soluble Wax Pastel |
Blended the Color with an Aqua Brush |
Outlined the Circles with a Black Inktense Pencil |
Filled in the White Space with a Pink Neocolor II Water-Soluble Wax Pastel |
Blended the Color with an Aqua Brush |
Added a Light Coat of Gesso |
Randomly Stamped this "LOVE" Sentiment on the Background with Black Ranger Archival Ink |
Added Red & Pink Glitter Heart Stickers |
Added Another Light Coat of Gesso & a Piece of Washi Tape. Outlined the Washi Tape with a Black Inktense Pencil and Blended with an Aqua brush. |
Outlined the Glitter Heart Stickers with Tim Holtz Distress Marker (Blended), Gelli Pens, and a Black Uni-Ball Signo (Broad) Pen |
Created a Heart Stencil out of a Scrap Piece of Mixed Media Paper and Traced the Heart on my Background |
Cut the Heart out & Distressed the Edges with Black Archival Ink |
Added "LOVE" with Black Thickers and Outlined with a Black Uni-Ball Signo Pen |
Added a "Dime Size" Amount of Liquidtex Heavy Body Acrylic Paint to my Gelli Plate |
Grabbed these SUPER CUTE Unique Laser Design's MDF Wood "Lips" Embellishments |
Dipped each Lip, Face Down, in the Acrylic Paint. (Note: Paint Must be Thick Enough to see Peaks). Heated the Acrylic Paint with a Heat Gun until the Paint Bubbled and Popped. |
Pressed the Paint Down to Create this Cool Texture Once the Paint Cooled |
Adhered the Heart & Lips to a 4x6 Piece of Patterned Scrapbooking Paper with UHU Glue. Outlined the Heart with Black Acrylic Paint & Doodled Around the Shapes & Edges of the Journal Card. Stamped S.W.A.K. (Sealed With A Kiss) with Black Archival Ink. |
Added a Black & White Checkered Border around the Heart & Date Stamps |
And Voila'! It is FINISHED!
Mixed Media Title Card (COMPLETE)! |
