Strong a Layout by Emma

Hi there,

It’s Tuesday, which means it’s my turn to share a creation with you all.

For this layout I was inspired by some of the colours in this months moodboard. Particularly the green and black image in the bottom corner. 

I was also inspired by 2 words in the quote, strong and woman. Hence my title and a selfie.

Most days I’m far from strong, but I’m a work in progress, so it’s something I try for. 

My background consists of lots of SC goodies, starting with stencils and modeling paste in opaque matte and

Jo Sonja’s texture paste in black. For my greens I used a couple of water colours from

the new Vicki Boutin water colour set. 

Some Distress Oxide in Twisted Citron and Cracked Pistachio. 

I also smeared some Dylusions Lemon Zest paint around with a palette knife.

You can see this process in more detail in my video at the end of this post. 

For my layers behind my photo I used a couple of sheets from a Pink Paislee 6x6 paper pad I tore this up and layered with a WRMK Typecast tag.

My title letters are from a Heidi Swapp alphabet. 

I did also tuck in a flair from Heidi Swapp flair and button embellishment set. 

The couple of enamel dots used are from the Heidi Swapp stickers set. 

I painted all my chipboard with the same Oxide inks as my background.

Lastly, as on all my layouts or creations, I flicked Liquitex carbon Artist ink around to pull the whole project together. 

I really hope this inspires you to join in with this months challenge. 

And I hope you enjoy my video too. 

I’ll catch you all soon. Enjoy your week.
