Playing with mixed media and Heidi Swapp
Hey my Magpie friends,
How are you all? I have missed you as I was away last month and somehow we have got to the 10th November! How did that happen? I have been itching to play with the new Heidi Swapp mixed media goodies and this month I have had a chance and they are just as lovely as I expected them to be. So lets get started… For my first layout I used some of the gorgeous “Wonder”collection by Crate Paper. The first of the mixed media products I used was the “Heidi Swapp Gold Texture Paste” and this stuff is gorgeous! It so very golden and sparkly and the thickness of the paste is really useable too. I started the page by stamping the white cardstock with a black grill stamp to add a bit of interest and then ran the texture paste through another stencil to create some depth. You can leave the paste to air dry but I like to use a heat gun because this makes the paste pop and that adds more texture to the layout. I also splashed some “Heidi Swapp Gold Colour Shine” on the layout around the texture paste. I then used papers from the “Wonder” collection behind the photo to create small layers and built up the rest of the layers using the ephemera from the “Wonder” collection. In the ephemera pack there are also some felt hearts which work beautifully to create another layer to the cluster. I also added some puffy stickers in the shape of a stars. Heidi Swapp also has some doilies in her mixed media release and I added one of those behind the picture. The flowers are from my stash. I then creates another cluster in the bottom right hand corner using more of the ephemera and added another puffy sticker to that to finish it off. The last items that I added were some of the “Wonder” enamel dots and sequins that are self adhesive which makes it very easy to add them to your layouts.
