A Layout by Olennka

Hi !!! Olennka here! When I saw Amy's STITCHED collection I fell in love at the first sight. I love all the items from this line. Especialy I adore simple brown papers which can be used as the base of the Layout. They can easily replace white cardstocks which I use as the base because they are very neutral.

To create my LO I used Heartfelt paper as the base and Thrifted paper which I cut for the pieces. Then I stuck the scraps to the base . I stopped in the middle of the base, because I wanted to leave some free space. 

Then I sew along every paper scrap and applied gesso on the center of the Layout. I like to do this because it exposes the main place of my Layout, also I often use watercolors and gesso is the best to prime the paper. At the center I placed piece of paper for journaling . In this case I chose "curious" because it reminds me Curious George which is my son's favorite cartoon. Also it was inspiration for my title, I wanted to weave this word to the rest of the title. 

I added photo of my child, with tag under it and I wrote the title. I wrote it with brush and black ink, I wanted to look like a child wrote it :)

Then I added some stickers in the free are and I had to add the NOTES epoxy sticker because it's so cute . At the end just few ink splashes and voila, done ! I hope you like it as much as I do :)

How lovely! Thanks for sharing, Olennka! Other Design Team member posts can be found here. Shop for Amy Tangerine products at your local scrapbook stores and online at Simon Says Stamp and Blue Moon Scrapbooking and Scrapbook.com.
