"Love this Moment" for Donna Salazar

Hi everyone. I have another wedding layout to share with your today featuring lots of Donna Salazar products. This is one of my favorite photos from Elizabeth and Andrew's wedding with a cloud of bubbles surrounding them. I adore how they are leaning in towards each other as they walk together for the first time as husband and wife.

"Love this Moment"
I used Mistra's gorgeous August colors and sketch.

Tips and Techniques
I created this focal flower from white cardstock using Donna's Spellbinders Rose Creations and Carnation Creations Die sets. I used Mix'd Media Inx like water colors to tint the centers of the petals. To do this I rubbed the stamp pad onto a craft mat and spritzed on a light mist of water to dilute.

I rubbed Peridot, Patina, and Stormy Mix'd Media Inx around the page edge and then stamped lightly with Donna's Crackle stamp using more Stormy Inx.

I surrounded the focal flower with Bitty Blossoms Flowers created from patterned paper scraps and Mix'd Media Stax 2 Mulberry paper. These flowers were dabbed with Peridot and Patina Mix'd Media Inx, then brushed with gesso. A tutorial for my Bitty Bossoms Flowers can be found HERE. In keeping with the bubbles in the photo, I stenciled circles across this corner using light molding paste. I dabbed the circles with a toothbrush for added texture.

The feathers came from my sweet friend, Jesse. She collected them as her wee chicks shed them.

A close-up of my title area. More (bubble) circles. This time in crystal and acrylic. Here you can see that I used Donna's Zutter Distrezz-it-All to distress around the photo mat.

I cut this Leaky Shed Swirl Vine Corner into two pieces for either side of my cluster. I left it bare with some gesso dry brushed across. It's quite subtle but I created gesso rings seen here above the flourish and again in the opposite corner. Another reference to the bubbles. :-) 

One final shot.
