Swirlydoos April Kit, "Vintage Chic"

Have you seen Swirlydoos April kit, "Vintage Chic"? I've just received my kit not long ago and played with it. The papers in there are gorgeous!! They are mostly from Prima's Engraver collection. There are also tons of other embellishment that comes with the kit which allows you to create feminine vintage layouts or even masculine layouts. I've actually scrapped both and will share them here throughout this this coming two weeks.

Due to the late arrival of my kit. I did not managed to join the reveal hop this month. Hope you all check back for my layouts here.

Spring

This is one of my recent layout using an acrylic XL scallop and mascil by Clear Scraps, gorgeous new printed flowers by Petaloo and tons of colorations and sorbet by Art Anthology. The papers used are by Graphic 45.

Here are some details on it.

 

To create the textured hexagon, I've used the chicken wire mascil by Clear Scraps with some white gesso. Later, I've misted it with two colorations (Juicy, Fern Leaf). Colorations may take a little longer to dry on acrylic surfaces. To ground the top left corner of the photograph, I've used some Big Dip O'Ruby sorbet to paint it.

 



 

To paint the chipboard branch, I've used Viridian and Big Dip O'Ruby sorbets. This will give the chipboard some gorgeous glittery colors.

 



Check out these gorgeous new flower by Petaloo! I love them so much! The lace, decorative pins and the new butterflies are also by Petaloo.
