play - happy - smile {PAPERHAUS magazine}

hello scrappy friends!

today is the 3rd DAY of the amazing PAPERHAUS summer delight event! 

to keep the inspiration flowing, i've created a summer layout TUTORIAL with a tailor made background for you - on the PAPERHAUS blog today - 

"PLAY - HAPPY - SMILE"

for this layout i decided to make my own background paper and create my own embellishments. 

i started with white 12 x 12” cardstock, the crafter’s workshop "solace" mask and DERWENT colorsoft pencils. 

first, i coloured the mask with three different colours:

then i used a soft brush dipped in odourless white spirit to brush over my design to get the oil colors effect.

after my background paper was dry, i began assembling my design. for embellishments i used different paper snippets, which i cut into shapes {arrows, banners} or fussy cut elements from the WEBSTER'S PAGES "palm beach" collection paper.

the pearls and rhinestones are from PRIMA marketing e line self adhesive pearls and rhinestones packs - blue and orange. 

i hope you enjoyed my little tutorial today.

hugs 'n smiles,
