Hello there, Kim here with a cool journaling idea that I am sure you will love!
Love Life by Kim Watson
Inspired by the flower ephemera from Paige Evans found in the March 2017 kits, I chose paint colors that blended well together. Using gel medium first, then bright paints, I created this fun, artsy circle for the center of the design. I made sure the colors dried intense, to make sure the white text was legible.
Want to create layouts like this? Our monthly kits include coordinated papers, embellishments, and supplies to bring your scrapbook pages to life.
The layers of flowers were raised with different heights of foam adhesive to create dimension. I love how the bronze foil ties bother floral clusters together so well.
Enamel dots positioned at three corners of the page add lovely twinkle & add interest to the paint splatter.
If you were wondering how I managed to write so fluidly around the circle?
This is how I did it:
- Cut a circle from vellum to fit within the paint circle.
- Decorative scissors make a nice fancy edge.
- Place the vellum on a piece of card for stability onto a potters wheel.
- Using a good quality white gel pen, write your journaling whilst turning the wheel.
- Be careful to allow the rows of writing to dry before writing the next to avoid smudging.
I am so glad you stopped by the Hip Kit Club blog today! I hope you have been inspired to try this cool idea too.
See you again soon.
