Easter Layout with Mixed Media and DecoFoil

Happy spring! Audrey here today to share an springy Easter layout page. Easter will soon be upon us, and I decided to get into the spirit of spring by scrapping last year's Easter time photos. I used lots of the new Mixed Media products on my page with some Deco Foil™ adhesives and foils.  

Easter Layout with Mixed Media and DecoFoil™

Supplies: Deco Foil™ Transfer Gel Deco Foil™in Opal Mixed Media Sheet - Light Weight Mixed Media Liquid Adhesive

[line] Easter Layout Instructions:

To begin, I used the new DecoFoil™ Transfer Gel and spread it through a stencil that had egg shapes on it. Once dry (after about an hour), I ran it through my laminator with some DecoFoil in Opal. I loved how the shimmer in the Opal foil has pastel colors and swirls...perfect for spring! Then I used some mists to "paint" the background. The foiled areas act as a resist and the color seeps through the white spaces. The gel provides such a great texture with the foil! Next, I cut out some egg shapes from patterned paper and from some DecoFoil Foam Adhesive using my Silhouette Cameo die cutting machine. I covered a few of the foam pieces with the Opal Deco Foil™ to pick up on the background color and texture. I then used a Lightweight Mixed Media Sheet and my cutting machine to cut out a larger egg shape to ground my title and some of my embellishments. I poked holes around the Mixed Media sheet (and through the paper) and then used white embroidery floss to hand-stitch. Finally, I layered my eggs with some other die cuts, fussy cut flowers, and brads. I love how spring this page feels and all the great textures and movement from the gel and foil colors!   You can watch my entire process from start to finish here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AktH0cpO16Q Happy spring!
