Here's my layout. It features a photo of my little kitten and she is so cute! I managed to use 7 different stamps on this layout! Check out my process video below and Marloes video!



I decided that since this was a stamping challenge, I would also do a little bit of mixed media. I prepped my background paper from Basic Grey with some clear gesso. Once dried, I took out a piece of packaging to do the packaging technique. This is when you take a piece of plastic and put some color on it, dilute it with a little bit of water, and smoosh it on to the page. I used an October Afternoon sprinklers in a dark blue (I'll try and link the exact color down below). Priming your paper with gesso will help the color move around better and help the paper not warp.


I then backed my photo with a piece of Prima paper from the Introspection 6x6 pad. I knew I also wanted to use this fun square Freckled Fawn doily. I set those layers aside and started pulling out some stamps. I knew I wanted to use this fun set of frame stamps from Doodle Bug Designs. Once I had them in place, I stamped them using my Staz-on ink. I later on use some stamps from Inkadinkado, Project Life, and Avery Elle.

I added this fun tab from Elle's Studio behind my photo to bring in some more blues, I also sneaked in a little black tag to the right of that just to bring in some more contrast. The bottom right cluster consists of an iron on bow patch, some washi tape, a Simple Stories burlap heart, a Martha Stewart punched butterfly, and a Tim Holtz tiny word sticker. In the top left hand cluster, I used my Echo Park dies to cut out the large butterfly, then add a Simple Stories Carpe Diem word sticker and a Crate Paper little heart sticker.


To finish off this layout, I used a gray October Afternoon sprinklers to add some splatters. My title is made out of some Teresa Collins tiny type and some Thickers in the umbrella font. I hope you all enjoyed this challenge. Join us on Facebook in the Young Scrappers group for more fun! Check out Marloes' videos!
