Hi everyone, I hope you're having an awesome week so far. Today I'm sharing a mixed media layout of my niece Emily. I recently took this photo at Easter and the expression on her face is so precious. She's just oozing with sweetness. I thought that the tag on the right from Marion's Mad Tea Party Collection said it all "Wonder, For the Curious At Heart the Wanderous Mind, and the Adventurous Soul"
I decided on Marion's Motley Collection & Junque & Gems, because there are so many elements that can be fussy cut from this collection. The festive color palette was perfect for my sweet Emily!
I used scraps from recent projects, and took this opportunity to fussy cut the elements that could be used as stand alone pieces then cut banners from the rest. This is a great way to eliminate scraps. Individually these small elements seem insignificant, but when clustered together, they really make a statement.
I used a neutral baby blue paper for the background, and then applied a few mixed media techniques to give it texture and depth. I stuck with the hot pink tones so that my photo would really pop.
I'm seriously in LOVE with Gold right now, and decided to spray paint some generic paper doilies with Krylon's Metalic Gold Spray Paint. I love how they look inside my embellishment clusters, and the gold matches this collection perfectly!
I placed my title in the bottom left hand corner inside another embellishment cluster. Her eyes were so bright in the photo I decided to include that reference in my title "Blue Eyes Full of Wonder". The title card was part of Mairon's Scarlet Digital collection.
We would love to see what you have created with Marion's gorgeous lines. Don't forget to #MarionSmithDesigns when you share your Marion Smith Designs Projects in Social Media.
