"Sweet Moment" Mixed Media Layout for Donna Salazar Designs

Winter has settled upon our area with cold temperatures and more snow. I hope you're enjoying the preparations of the Christmas season. 

Today I'd like to share a layout from our daughter's wedding Featuring Donna Salazar's Distrezz-it-All and Spellbinder dies. Elizabeth is with her two young cousins who were her flower girl and junior bridesmaid. Don't you just adore those sweet smiles? 

"Sweet Moment"

Tips and Techniques

I included two borders seen above in the large project photo. On the right side I used mat gel medium to apply a piece of vintage lace which I then dry brushed with gesso, inked and splattered. The remainder of the layout is bordered with light molding paste, which when dry was randomly stamped with Donna's Woodgrain stamp in Storm Mix'd Media Inx. 

The flag strips and mats were all distrezzed with my handy Distrezz-it-All. I adore how this machine makes such quick work of my distressing and gives a thick shabby edge to the layers. I used several of Donna's Art Gone Wild stamps on the background. Here your can see her Stanza stamp. This Want2Scrap chipboard piece was given a light and spotty application of Jasmine Mix'd Media Inx. I then sprinkled lightly with Jasmine Embossing Powder, knocking some off in places to be sure some of the bare chipboard would show through. 

Another view of this lovely cluster. The flowers and leaves are created with a mix of vintage pattern paper, voile fabric, mulberry paper from Donna's Mix'd Media Stax 2, and regular printed cardstock paper using Donna's Grand Peony, Bitty Blossoms, and Rose Creation Dies. 

Here's a view of the smaller cluster. You can see just a little of the hearts stenciled with Donna's Want2Scrap Small Heart Stencil. I used light molding paste, then lightly inked with Chiffon Mix'd Media Inx. I then sprinkled on Clearsnap clear embossing powder and heat set to give a glossy shimmer to these sweet hearts. There's also a bit of splattered Smooch Spritz on these particular hearts. 

Don't you just adore Donna's Wonderful Wings dies and coordinating Bling from Want2Scrap? I die cut the background from Donna's Want2Scrap Canvas distressed with the edge of my scissors and inked with Chiffon and Stormy. The butterfly trail is a little scrap from a Want2Scrap border. I used a stiff paint brush to splatter Donna's Caramel Latte Smooch Spritz around the page. 

I drew inspiration from this lovely Flying Unicorn Mojo Monday Sketch from October.
