Dreaming of Sunshine Layout

Hello! It's Jennifer and I'm on the blog today to share a fun layout with you!  One of my go to techniques to add depth to my pages is using the 12 inch Mascils and spray ink! Here, I used the 12 inch Cloud Mascil and blue spray ink on white card stock.

Here is a close up of the result!  You can use as much spray ink as you see fit for your project! I always like to have a little variance in the concentration of ink.

I also used one of the chipboard butterflies from the Monarch Butterfly Chipboard Embellishments set.   I'm going to show you an easy way to embellish your chipboard!

First, I applied a light coat of white acrylic paint to the front of my butterfly.

After the paint is dry, apply clear embossing ink to the entire surface of the chipboard.  Next, I used embossing enamel (you can use regular embossing powder) and applied heat to set.

Here is a close up of my butterfly….the embossing enamel has pieces of metal included that create shiny areas!

I'm including a couple more photos of my layout! I used strips of patterned paper to create my own sun rays!
