Hi, I have my page featured over at Leaky Shed Studio. Please go on over and take a look.
So I ran across this picture of my nephew Kit when he was around 4. My sisters and I were at our neighborhood park in S. California. We took some photos of our children and I thought this picture of my nephew is so dang cute that I had to use it for a layout.
The first thing I did besides picking out my photo was to figure out the colors I wanted to use. I chose brown to give the layout a "boy" look, I chose yellow to bring out the "duck" in my photo and I added gold to soften the dark brown. Next I chose my Leaky Shed Studio chipboard pieces.
BOY spelled out using the Leaky Shed Studio Alphabet:
I painted the letters black with acrylic paint. After it was dry I layered on Tim Holtz Rock Candy to distress and crackle the words. I used extra Rock Candy and put a heat gun to it. The Rock Candy is more subtle than the Ranger "crackle" paint which is white. I then added a Leaky Shed Studio gear to the "O" for a little more pizzazz.
For the Putman Bird I reversed the direction and painted a base coat of white acrylic. Then I used a semi thick brush to "glob" the tip of my brush against the chipboard. This method gave me a thicker layer and I think it made it look "softer" than a regular brush stroke. So I painted the bird belly yellow to match the "duck" that my nephew was riding. I then added a layer of gold that bled into the yellow and gave more of transition to the black top "feathers" of the bird. After which, I added lots of Rock Candy and heat to crackle the paint
For the gears I first painted them metallic gold. Then I slowly added Stampendous mica gold pieces.
I hope you enjoyed my layout today, thank you for stopping by, happy scrapping
