Mixed media layout by Lucie Forté (louanncreations)

Hello,

I hope you have a great day.  For this first blog post I’m gonna show you how i do my mixed media layout using  a lot of Brutus Monroe products.

For the first step I use a watercolor paper and I add fuschia Aqua pigment with water for a little bit of color on my background.  I really love using texture stamps on my background so I use Brutus Monroe happiness seeds stamps.

I also use a Brutus Monroe stencil with glitter glaze on my background to add shimmers and I make stains with the chroma mist lilac purple.

For adding some dimension and texture i altered a chipboard with the Brutus Monroe embossing powder raven.  

I made my own resin epoxy embellishment so I altered them with glitter glaze, velveteen glaze night sky and fuschia Aqua pigment.  If you want to know how I made this embellishment you can go on my You tube channel louanncreations.

After all this step I choose my picture and I matte her with the Brutus Monroe mermaid cardstock, i add some flowers, ephemera, black thread and I add some stamps on my background, the little heart and some word from the Brutus Monroe sentiment stamps.  I also give a great place to Katie the koala at three place in my layout, I used my copic marker to add color on the stamp.  My title also provide from the sentiment kit stamp.

So I hope my layout and my process inspired you.  This is all the Brutus Monroe products I was using on my layout.
