The Scrapper's Helper

Another mixed media layout!  This layout was fun and I loved the colors.  I use some metallic watercolors, stamping, and I also used some Liquid Pearls over a stencil.  I was able to make use of the tropical flowers that I made in my Tropical Flower Tutorial Parts I and II.

Something that I would have done differently on this layout is that I would have taken my time with the stenciling because in some spots the Liquid Pearls seeped under the stencil. It's not that noticeable unless you really look closely, but it bothers me.  LOL!   The other thing is that I'm not sure that I really love the large flower.  I think that a slightly smaller flower would have been better in that spot as well as a smaller journaling spot.

Otherwise, I love how the warm colors pop off the cool blues of the paper in this layout, yet the whole layout still gives off a very calm feeling.  I hope you enjoy this video process and that it inspires you!  Thanks for visiting.
