Hi Guys
This is a layout I created for
The Color Room Challenge site when
Imaginarium Designs were sponosring the challenges in May :) :) :)
Layout – "a forever memory"
Background and chipboard element paint technique Materials used;Imaginarium Designs chipboard background
Imaginarium Designs chipboard hessian square [designed by Louise Nelson]
Gesso – Monte Marte
Paint – Making Memories, Jo Sonja, Kaisercraft
Mist – Crafty Notions

Gauze
I first glued the chipboard hessian square to the background using a glue stick.
I then mixed some cream paint in with the gesso before applying it to background
Place a few dollops of paint/gesso mix on to the background and chipboard embellishment
Using a coarse foam roller, roll out and cover the layout background and chipboard with the paint/gesso mix.
Don’t over roll the paint/gesso mix otherwise you will loose the lovely coarse bubble effect of the paint and gesso.
Just a close up of the lovely effect you can get using the gesso and a coarse foam roller
I usually use mists, but for this particular colour combination I needed to mix some pink paint with water and put it into a spray bottle to get a colour match.
This was then sprayed liberally over the chipboard embellishment.
I then dried the pink spray paint with a heat gun, after tipping it from side to side, to get it to run and drip across the background board
This is a close-up of the final paint effect on the background and chipboard
Close ups of the layout :)
Cheers and Happy Scrapping :) xxx
