Scrap your Stash

Sketch challenge over at Scrap Our Stash

I decided i wanted to use washi tape as the stripes in the background.  Lately my layouts are about creating a background and I have been playing with mica powder by Prima, Finnabair art ingredients.  And continued to do so with this layout.

 I started with vanilla cardstock and added harlequin pattern with modeling paste and stencil.

Added copper paint on modeling paste pattern, dry brushed along edges.  So there are no harsh edges.

Dry brushed on black paint then added the mica powder, used purple, rust and teal.  Next I inked vintage photo distress ink over top and added some more mica powder.  Sprayed with water to get drips and blending.

Highlighted the harlequin pattern with white paint, not a complete solid white.

Repeated above steps on top pattern,  how fun is that?

The final layout, added green and blue along edges and layered on top of pattern paper.  Next layered with washi tape, rub ons, chipboard and journalling tags.  The final step is doddling, my new favorite thing.

I kept the embellishments to a min.  since the background is so much.

Enjoy!
