WONDERFUL YOU - Scrapbook Nerd

Hi there!

Today i am up on the Scrapbook Nerd Social Media outlets with this new layout that combines a few paper collections,  cut files and subtle mixed media, in total some of my favorite things. 

I started by adding a bit of gold watercolor to some cut outs -created with cut files from Handipaper-; these were set aside to dry completely.  In the mean while,  i added a bit of texture to the background by running texture stencil on the background.  I chose a stencil that had small and well spaced images.

Since i had chosen a patterned paper from the Saturday Afternoon collection from 1Canoe2 for the background,  i opted for adding paper layers of colors that will complement both the picture and background, so I cut  papers from the Pink Paislee's Indigo & Ivy collection for this.

To assemble the page,  first i used all the patterned paper to back and layer the picture.  The cut file was also attached in between the layers, as well as pieces of cardstock so that they add a bit of separation between the paper layers, thus creating dimension.

All that was left was to embellish the page. To make the picture pop, i added stickers and sequin that match the color of the dress my daughter is wearing.  All the embellishments come from the Indigo & Ivy collection.

Here is the final layout, i love how this came together and how easy it was to create.   Remember to stop by Scrapbook Nerd to check for the materials used in the page. If you have questions on how this came together, please do not hesitate to contact me.

LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE - JustNick Studio

Hello everyone!
Nathalie with you today and so excited to continue for another term as part of the JustNick studio DT  and get to work with Nicole's beautiful designs.   I was born and raised in Ecuador, but call Toronto home for over half my life.  My biggest blessing are my husband, two teenagers and our Boston Terrier baby.   My love for paper crafting was grown along with me, and i am so happy i get to share a part of it with you all.  Now, let me show you what i have created for today:

For this page , i chose the Let Your Light Shine and Leafy Florals (soon to be released) to document a recent selfie. 



It all started with a bit of mixed media,   some Vicki Boutin Rose Gold glaze pushed through a Kaisercraft stencil, on  one of the new papers from the Indigo and Ivy collection from Pink Paislee.





While the background dried, i used the soon-to-be-released Leafy Florals cut file to cut a few of the images out of white cardstock.   These would be used as accents and layers behind the picture and paper layers.





For the title of this page, i chose the Let Your Light Shine cut file. This was cut twice from white cardstock, the cut outs were then attached to each other with a bit of foam adhesive in between, then glued to the background.  A few embellishments from the Indigo & Ivy collection were added to the page, as well as a few lines of journal.



I hope this has inspired you to check all the designs at the JustNick studio shop.  There are always new designs being added to the store.   If you have questions on how this came together, please do not hesitate to contact me!
