SDC 137 Using a textured background

The wonderful Kay Wallace, (there is a link to her blog on the right hand side ) set us a challenge this week of using a textured back ground
This is my project, using a textured Background



Here are some step by step pictures showing all the different layers and textures I used....
The picture below is a 12x12 sheet of cardboard I have painted and then added some plasters tape to.


Next I mixed some paint with a very textured paste


Then I added the paste to my cardboard, onto the mesh and into the ridges. I then changed over to a more liquid glossy paste and applied that through a stencil, you can see how they are very different, in the picture below.



Next I stamped carols flower small and large and coloured them with pencils and blended them with fluid and stumps



Then cut them out.



I then moulded the flowers


And added beads to the centre for a different texture!


I then added some burlap fabric to the corner at the bottom


Then more to the right hand side


Stamped this image by Jo Capper-Sandon called Seaweed, and coloured it, then cut it out.


Stamped my title with alphabet upper and lower,using paint and cut them out leaving a white line round them.


added my photos


Then added all the lovely Stampotique images, I have cut out to the layout


Added seed beads to the large flowers



And then Matt and layered my photos and stuck them all down!



This was the end result a very textured scrapbook layout!
