I love the stencils we just got in from Tattered Angels, and I wanted to put together a 25 minute layout that's super simple! Using the stencils, and TA Glimmer Mist really makes your layouts pop!
First I start by lightly misting my background with a little color
Next place your stencil where you would like it
Layer your colors until you get a background you like. Then remove the stencil.
I am completely not a patient girl, so I use my embossing heat gun to dry it quicker.
Next I'm going to use the new Tattered Angel clear stamp "Blossom Trees", and "Black Soot" Distress Ink. Before I stamp...I thought I would share a little tip! When you first stamp your clear stamps you might get an image like this . . .
To get a crisper image take a nail file and lightly sand your clear stamp. This makes the stamp surface more porous so it will soak up more ink.
So next I stamped and assembled the layout. I wanted some random rhinestones around the layout so I stamped swirls with my versamark ink, so I would have a guide.
Stencils and glimmer spray are a great way to put together a fast and colorful layout.
Beautiful Page, Love Love Love the idea!
