Lovely Layout ~ Color Dare #352

Hello! Our Color My Heart Color Dare Design Team has a new challenge starting today. You can use any 3 or  more colors from the grid below plus Black, white and Neutrals are free to use. 

We reference Close To My Heart colors but you are welcome to use any brand you have as long as you can make a very close match. DO NOT add any brand new colors to the palette. Make any paper craft you like; cards, scrapbook layouts, home decor, etc. Full details are in the post on our home page. 

I decided to use Sugarplum, Ballerina and Glacier as my colors. The pattern comes from our How-to book called Make It from Your Heart. The cutting and assembling guide is right there for you to follow as well as a couple examples. Very easy to create beautiful layouts this way. The flowers and "Smiles" come from a Cricut cartridge and the lace border is a Thin Cut die.

Birthday Layout with Mixed Media

Have you noticed Texture Paste in the Holiday Expressions book? Well it's there and we have THREE kinds: Opaque Matte, Transparent Matte and Transparent Gloss! Wow are we going to have fun adding mixed media or what!!!!

I'm also sharing this post with Heart 2 Heart for their Sweet Treats challenge. Check it out!

Ok, so I started out simple. The loops of "frosting" on the cake are Opaque Matte Texture Paste. I used my Cricut and the Artbooking cartridge to cut the loop image. Then you just lay the stencil over the area you want that image. Take one of the palette knives and a little bit of the texture paste. Spread the paste over the cut out in the stencil. HINT: I used some washi tape to tape the stencil to my project to help keep it in place. then just carefully peal up the stencil and give it a little bath with a wet one to get the extra paste off before it dries. Let the paste on your project dry....it didn't take as long as I thought it would. After it was dry I used my Clear Shimmer Brush to paint on some sparkle to the loops! That part is hard to see in the photos but trust me that it's there!

I just placed the candle flames no the layout for the photo. They will be added for real after the photo is in place.
