Friday Fun Layout

Hello Everybody!

It's my turn over at the Great Impressions Blog and I have a fun layout to share with you all today. :)  I was in a mixed media mood so I got out my stencils, inks, and most important-my Great Impressions Stamps!

Here's my layout.

For this layout I used these awesome stamps: K94 Distressed Background, E645 Retro Spirals, E492 Twirly Background, and C313 Retro Happy Birthday.

Here is the Retro Happy Birthday stamp.  I used Real Red Stampin' Up Craft Ink with this stamp and clear embossing powder.  I used Real Red on the Tim Holtz Resist letters and for the Twirly Background stamp.

There are splatters from the stencils and from some mists that I used.  However, if you look here and see those brown dots (walnut stain distress ink)--that is the distressed background stamp.  I used it in other places on this layout but it shows up really well on the right hand corner.

Here are the retro circles.  I used weathered wood and black soot distress inks.  The weathered wood (like a gray) was applied first.  Then I just did a few black circles to give it some dimension.  You can also see the red twirls.  :)

Here is how this look where the picture goes.  You won't see all of those circles-but you need them to get the border to have some depth.  The chevrons are a stencil (heidi swapp) and Stampin' Up White Craft Ink.

Here is the area with the picture and embellies.  I also used Tim Holtz's sun burst stencil.  Some of those dots you see is bubble wrap with walnut stain distress ink.

Until next time my friends...stay inspired! :)
