If you’ve been a fan of Studio Calico for a while now, you’ve likely collected a few bottles of Mister Huey’s. (In most cases, it’s probably more than just a few). Well, I thought it would be fun to get them out and use 5 of them on a single page. Instead of spraying using the nozzle, I took off the cap and used the stick for some bigger splotches. Coming soon are the droppers, which will create a similar effect. I created a rainbow look on this page as the background. The look of the bright colors on the natural kraft is something I am digging. Big time. Here is how the page came together using Studio Calico’s October Main Kit, Roller Rink:
I used 2×2 Instagram prints from Persnickety Prints in a linen finish. I like this finish for objects, rather than for people in this small size. My favorite finish for all Instagram prints is the Matte Card Stock.
Here is the completed layout, and you can check out the rest of the October kit layouts in my gallery. Note: if you mix white and black splotches, I suggest waiting for one to dry completely before using the other. If you don’t, it could end up looking a bit like birdie doodoo. Just saying.
this is just beautiful! i’m going to have to look into persnickety! thanks for the recommendation!
great info about Persnickety Prints! thanks:)
Love every little detail about this layout. Will have to give the ink on natural craft a try!
Love your page! I just picked up some of those Simple Stories prapes myself and moved them around on a page a dozen times or so with no real layout in mind, so thanks for the wonderful inspiration! Our family hopes to get to Ottawa as well this summer to visit friends- enjoy your trip!
I never thought of the colour on kraft but I am loving what I see.
I am SO in love with this!!!
Amy, thanks for the layout instructions. Love all of your SC layouts this month. Can’t wait to get the kit and start scrapping.
Hope your grandma is on the mend.
Your rainbow effect is awesome! Can you do a video tutorial? Did you just flick it on with the stick? How did you hold it? how you get the general direction to lay out the way it did?
love how your ink splatters turned out! my paper (especially kraft) tends to soak up mists like a sponge so my splatters never look as vibrant. thanks for sharing such a pretty and simple layout!
