Believe- Mixed Media Scrapbook Layout

Hello and welcome to the UmWowStudio blog today! It's Amy here to share some inspiration made with some wonderful UmWowStudio goodies. I started by pulling this paper from Fab Scraps out of my Scraps of Darkness August kit, and for a bit of a change, I layered up my papers before painting and inking my background. After adding plenty of paint to the background, I used the circle confetti mask and some gesso to create those "bubbles" randomly around the paper and photo. I also painted over the top of those with watercolor.
For some upward and downward movement, I stenciled with black ink over the damask mask, and added more splashes of paint and liquid inks over the page, before doing my final embellishing. I adore how the new chipboard flourishes (2) are just swirls of beautiful, as naked chipboard; but I also knew they would make lovely realistic moving vines if I added some mist and paint. The way they lead the eye around just tickles me pink. ;)
Thank you SO much for having a look today. I hope you were inspired! 
~Amy

Love This {12x12 by Guest CT member Anna R.}

Hello folks! today we have the talented Anna Rogalska joining our team for a brief stint as a Guest Creative Team Member. She always has the most elaborate stunning layouts, and I'm excited to feature her for a day!

Hi Everyone! I'm Anna Rogalska. I live in Poland. I am a landscape architect, scrapbooker and in my spare time I am a keen runner. I've been scrapbooking for nearly 6 years. My scrapping style is a little bit of everything, romantic, a little shabby and mixed media. I love to try new techniques!
I make layouts, cards, tags and altered items. I am definitely a flower addict! I absolutely love flowers, chipboard, stencils and paints which are usually incorporated in most of my layouts
I am very excited to be here to share with you a project I created with UmWowStudio products. Thank you DeeDee for having me :)

Today I am sharing with you a layout about flowers in my garden, because flowers are my biggest love! I am completely addicted to plants and gardening.
I created a layout using my favourite 7 Dots Studio Nature Walk collection and gorgeous UmWowStudio chipboard pieces like: Doilies, Distressed Harlequin Background and Love This Arrow Title.
My background is made mostly with 13arts mediums like purple mists and paints. I love this color!

Good stuff

Good morning friends,
I fell in love with so many of the new  UWS releases this past month, but one of my favorites that I could not wait to get my hands on was the Rainy Day Flair. A few weeks ago, the lawn sprinklers in our housing community started coming on during the day. Being the fun, unexpected situation it was, I let the girls run crazy through it, in their clothes. Of course I had to grab my camera, creating the perfect photos to showcase these amazing .

 

I wanted to create the raindrops in a multitude of colors and chose to stagger my UWS Snowflake Confetti burst shapes throughout the bottom half of my page. It was just the pop I was needing. I chose to keep them unaltered for a contrast in colors!

I added my Flair button onto a simple stories sun and cloud print, the perfect look for sprinklers in the sunshine. Last off I added three arrows in varying sizes from my Arrow Confetti.

I had so much fun creating this layout and I hope it inspired you to grab some of these super fun.
