First Ride


This polka dot paper is perfect to add your own color. I gesso the paper and draw the big heart with Gelatos from Faber Castell. i applied three colors and they are easily to blend together with water. 


Paper flowers from Prima and Petaloo are both my favourite. They have nice flower shapes and details in color shading. 

Pure Joy


This is another layout I create the background to match the photo color purple. I gesso the paper, stencil it and spray on top to create layers.


Here are the close-ups of different layers. I used thick gesso onto stencil as i run out of modelling paste. Add some twine and spray some darker purple spots.

I love this burlap chipboard letter, you can easily apply color on it to keep the consistency with the rest of the page. I simply used acrylic and my finger!


Life Reveals Your Beauty


This is the mix-media layout and this is what I learnt from Prima. You can check out their blog and you will be amazed for sure. Their design team is full of creativity and they turns everything into art!

The dimension of the flowers are good for layering. I apply gesso on flower to soften the color.

i distress the paper edge and ink the edge. Choose some embellishments with light color so it will be easy match.


More close-ups of this layout. We will hold again the crop session at DB in Sep due to summer holiday. Come join us and stay turned!.
