I have been getting messy and creating more mixed media style backgrounds for my scrapbook pages.
I decided to use a background stencil from the Silhouette Design Store and chose this design...
It fits perfectly on the 8.5 x 11" stencil sheet and cut perfectly, making weeding of the little shapes nice and easy...
Next the stencil was stuck down using washi tape on a plain white sheet of cardstock and texture paste applied
I decided I didn't want the number or letters on this layout so simply covered them with washi tape before I used the stencil
Once removed and dry I had a lovely textured effect
After spraying the page with water, I added some paint powder in several different colours and let it run all over the page creating a lush water coloured background
All I had left to do was add my crazy collection of photos and lots of co-coordinating embellishments and my page was done...
I didn't want to waste all the small pieces I had removed from the stencil so I randomly scattered the tiny circles over another piece of plain white cardstock and placed the 2 hearts and curved pieces where I wanted them. I used several different shades of blue spray mists to give this simple effect...
And produced a second page using the same stencil!
I really love making my own stencils and creating different effects on my pages...please let us know what you create with your Silhouette machines
hope to see you soon
