'Hello You' by Anita Rodway

Helloooooooo!!

It's my turn back on the blog & I've got a got a

little layout that I adore. Much like with my usual style -

well let's say 99% of them LOL, it's minimal, but big bold colours. 

I LOVE creating my own backgrounds,

& I really don't use patterned paper much these days.

Once I am happy with where my background is at,

I hate to cover all that painty awesomeness

up with photos/paper/embellishments... 

Here is a layout I created using our new

'Flutter Colour Paints'...

'HELLO YOU'

Here are some close ups

I started with putting down some soft, but

subtle watercolour tones.

I then went in with a Flutterby Stencil 'I {heart} You'

& some glass bead gel medium. I added nothing else

to this, as I wanted it to add another dimention of texture,

but not to take away from the focal points.

Next I've 'dribbled' over & flicked on some

Flutter Colour paint & allowed it to dry.

I worked out how I wanted the layering of my

embellishments to be. I've used some

Everyday Etc Filler Cards 'Wild Bohemian',

Fussy cut 'Circles', Wood Veneers 'Circles',

'Abstract 2' & 'Hello You Circle'.

I put down 'nests' of black cotton thread to add

some interest. To finish off, I added a Flair Button

from set no.381 & Enamel Dots. I painted the wording

on the wood veneer, to make it 'pop' a little.

And in my true style - grabbed my trusty black pens,

to add some doodling & small details.

I LOOOOOOVE how much texture this layout has!!

Thanks so much for popping by & take a look :)
