Once Upon A Time Pastel Layout with Mel KD

Hi beautiful gang! It’s Mel here today and I want to share with you my latest project for the Lindy’s DT a Step-by-Step tutorial on how I created this pastel layout using some beautiful Lindy’s Stamp Gang sprays.

I took a lovely combo T-Bird Turquoise, Sidewalk Chalk, Merci Beaucoup Mint, Salt Water Taffy

And choose an equally lovely photo of my beloved sister.

I started to work on my background with Salt Water Taffy

Then added Merci Beaucoup Mint & T-Bird Turquoise –  add the color from the bottle with a paintbrush for better control.

I also made some splashes with Sidewalk Chalk

After the sprays dried, I stamped randomly with Grey, Black, Pink and Blue ink

Time to add more interest with texture paste and a stencil.

After everything dried it’s time to compose, starting with my layered papers.

Then I embossed my chipboard with  Oom Pah Pah Pink and Cosmic Pink Blue.  This created a soft and pretty pink on the title.

I can now take my embellishments (chipboards, die cuts, flowers, flairs buttons) and play to see what works on the page.

I compose my layout and when I’m fine with everything, I can glue the elements down on the page.

As a final touch, I made some splashes with my T-Bird Turquoise, Sidewalk , Merci Beaucoup Mint, Salt Water Taffy sprays.

And it’s done!
