Hi everyone, Gina here to share a layout created with the January main kit, add-on kit and embellie kit.
I’ve used the items below along with some gesso (available in the Citrus Twist Store) and a palette knife.
All of the papers used are from the main kit and to start off, I added three stips of paper, the narrow strips are from the same sheet and I’ve cut them on angle as shown below..
Next I’ve spread some gesso around with a palette knife and also added a couple of sprays/splatters of white mist..
I then layered a couple of papers behind the photo and added the beautiful hand cut flowers and half a journal card from the add-on kit
Some strips of washi tape add a nice contrast (they are from the main and embellie kits) and I’ve also added some chipboard elements and thickers
from the main kit. The two stamps below are from the add-on kit and they are so versatile for using on all sorts of layouts!
The cute ‘details’ stamp is from the main kit and for added texture I’ve pleated a couple of pieces of ribbon from the add-on kit.
I’ve finished off the layout with with the chipboard arrows from the embellie kit and a few splatters of mist from the main kit.
Here are a couple of close ups..
Thanks for stopping by, Gina x
