I have another episode of my series called 'Break the rules Monday' where I take something that was not made for scrapbooking and make a layout with it!
For this months layout I chose a white dining table place mat!
You can watch the video here on my blog, or you can use this link to be redirected to my YouTube channel PotsieFighter.
So for this episode I decided to use this place setting for a dining table in turquoise glitter in a heart shape. I removed the backing which is like felt and slowly and carefully pulled it off the back so it is not so bulky.
I have prepared my page with gesso and decided to use my watercolors and used the blues to create a messy and artsy backround so it peeks out behind the heart. Then I used a few mists and sprayed them on my layout. I used Heidi Swapp Color Shine in Teal and the other mist I made myself using my Daler Rowney acrylic paint.
I decided to use this cute baby blue paper with hearts by Reprint Hobby called Basic Collection Light Blue Hearts and matted it on some white tissue paper before and also after to make it pop even more.
After that I used some foam on the back and adhered that on the heart using a ton of glue because the glitter was rather chunky and I wanted it to stay in place.
I was not sure how I should embellish this layout since it was already very busy because of the giant heart but I knew that I wanted to use this cute blue leather sticker with the moon and stars on it. I used a heart sticker with the same colored glitter as the heart from the MAMBI Pocket Pages Kit Family, a sticker from Kesi'art Stickies N°14, a Tim Holtz tiny word sticker and a few little bits and bobs from my stash. I splattered this cluster with some Heidi Swapp Color Shine in Teal to give it a bit more interest.
I also sprayed my backround with some more of the mists and dried it with my heatgun. Then I used a ton of glue and adhesive to adhere the heart on my backround. I used a black gel pen and traced the outline of the heart with it to make it pop a bit more and I used the same pen to do a bit of journaling and decorated that with a few puffy heart stickers and that finished off my layout!
I hope you enjoyed this layout and my Break the Rules Monday series!
