14. Give me your best smile!
To start our project you’ll need to distribute the chipboards all around your cardboard.
Concentrate them in one corner.
I used the right one for it going up and on the bottom a little.
Now that the things are in place add the photo Just to see how much space you may need for it.
And glue down all the little pieces using a liquid adhesive.
Take down the photo and let’s start to prepare our background for the paint.
Once everything is glued down, give it a layer of gesso, covering all the little corners using the larger paint brush.
If you find a small corner uncovered by gesso use a smaller paint brush to reach the hard parts.
Remember if you need to add your photo under some of the chipboards, leave that corner
Free of glue so you can have the proper space for it.
Once all the gesso is dry you can start with some painting.
I have chosen pink, purple, baby blue and turquoise.
Get the first color and deep it fast into the water to have a watercolor consistence.
(Just be carful here try it in a scrap of paper before to see if you like the consistence.)
Brush part of it in pink and without cleaning the brush change for the purple color.
Now you can give it a good clean to your paint brush and change for the turquoise.
And go painting all the surface of your project.
It’s getting cool, isn’t it?
While the paint is still wet scrub a little rug all over it.
If it[s already dry make your rag a bit moisture so you can take the excess of paint from the chipboards and cardboard.
Play around, experiment new things if you like.
Try to stamp a background using different textures such as a rubber stamp or a bubble wrap plastic.
Just don’t be afraid of trying.
Once you are happy with your background you can get your glimmer mist and spray it all over!
Here you can see how the colors mix together giving it a cool effect after the rug scrubbing.
The only thing you got to do now is to make some doodles and to embellish it with stickers.
I have sewn a lace on the bottom to give it a cute finishing.
Embellish and doodle around, add your photo your journaling and your title.
You can even make a mini-mini book to add on the same project.
Mine was made out of chipboard file folders.
And here we GO,
The result is a fun unique and a colorful project to remember the best moments of your life!
Hope you had so much fun as I did.
Thank you so much for being here today with me!
And I hope to see you around soon!
XOXO
