Adventure by Charmane Koch

Happy 22/02/2022! We won't see that again will we?

Hope everyone is getting into the swing of things for 2022! Can't believe it's going to be MARCH next WEEK! How does that even happen?

Anyway, today I am sharing with you a layout I created combining Road Trip & Embrace Change Collections - as they can blend in together really well - as you can see with this layout!

I thought the Exclusive cutouts from the Road Trip Collection were cute, so cut some of the leaves out, as I had in my head an Australian gum tree themed layout.

Using the Road Trip - Scenic paper as my base, I scraped some Jungle Colour Paste using a spatula over the top of the Cascading Leaves Stencil...

Once dried with a Heat Gun, Jungle is such a gorgeous colour!

This layout was quite easy to put together! All I did was matte my photos with Kraft cardstock and layer the cut out gum leaves, and also some "Old Leaves" Die cut outs using Kraft cardstock. I also had cut out a Grungy Film Strip

To create my title I used the Road Trip Words "Adventure" colouring it with Bling Mica Powder & Water.

I added my trademark swirly kitchen twine with a few staples... and of course a Charms Creations Heart to finish off the layout! 

Here's what I have used...

Thanks for stopping by & hope I have inspired you to create an Australian themed layout!

Take Care & Stay Safe!

Happy Days by Charmane Koch

Happy Friday Everyone! As happy as it can be! It is Spring, so it can only get better from here I say! I love the warmer weather!

Today I want to share with you a layout I created using the Embrace Change Collection!

I started off with cutting out a whole heap of leaves from the Autumn Trio & Old Leaves Dies using Embrace Change Gathering & Festival paper & also some Kraft paper - how satisfying and fun it is! I couldn't stop! Ha ha!

I have created a full video of this, but as an Amateur Video Creator I am still trying to figure out how to make it a bit more exciting...

So I will give you the basics of how I created it...

I started off with using Modelling paste and positioned the Wreath Stencil to the middle right of the page, then I have used the Cascading Leaves stencil on the left hand side of the page.

Once dried I have used a few different Mica Powders & Soot Artist Ink to colour the wreath and the leaves.

After colouring the stencilled images I played around with the positioning of my leaves...

I also coloured some Muslin with Leather Shimmer Dust & also the Title with the same colour too.

Here are some closeups to show the shimmer on the leaves...

And the cute little butterfly I've cut out! How cute is that?

Thanks for stopping by! I hope I've inspired you to use the Wreath & Cascading Leaves & the rest of the Embrace Change Collection! It's gorgeous!

Happy Creating! XO Charm
