3Quarter Designs - Fairground Mini Collection - 12 x 12 Layout - Never to old to be silly

12 x 12 Scrapbooking Layout  

Never to old to be silly 

by DT Mel Parnell

Hi everyone, It's Mel here and this is my first project for October using 3Quarter Designs Fairground Fun Collection Kit from Scrap of your Life. In this layout I was lucky enough to be able to create really fun page that draws out all the colours that this collection is made up of. The colours from this 3 Quarter Designs collection contains truly beautiful colours and were so fun to work with! 

Single 12 x12 Layout - Instructions

The first thing I did was to fussy cut all the elements from the 2 cut out sheets. I cut the Ferris wheel and 'H' from the 12 x 12 in this kit.

I used Kaisercraft eggshell acrylic paint to paint the chipboard words that come in the kit.

I used the Nuvo Shimmer powders in 'Cherry bomb, Violet brocade, Catherine wheel'. I puffed these over the painted letters and spritzed them with water all the colours mixed into each other.

I created the background with 4 distress crayons spritzed and sponged onto the page. I added more colours by using more crayons on the page. I added Nuvo Shimmer powder and water to some plastic and pushed this into my page.

I used a dusty attic stencil to created a textured background with modelling paste.

 I used another starburst stencil with purple acrylic paint sponged on to the background.

The Embellishments

Time to put all the elements together I used Doodle bug shape sprinkles swimming pool confetti, glass droplets, blue jewels, titles, die cuts (carnival , circles and birds), titles, ephemera and the Charms Creations heart.
