Recently some of the Cocoa Daisy team and I shared projects which we created using the Day In The Life January Cocoa Daisy kits. I created a process video to accompany this layout. You will have to please forgive the many "ums"; I am not that proficient at these videos and have yet to figure out the timing of video and verbiage. I am really not much of a talker so finding words of interest or relevance also escape me. Stick with me as I work out the kinks and eliminate the "ums"! It needs to be done!!
I used one of the subscriber exclusive cut files to create the heart background that is over the two patterned papers from Pink Paislee. You will see if you watch the process video that I added watercolor to the backside of what you see. The pinks didn't really match and became too distracting so I just flipped them to the backside and worked on top of the clean layer.
Here's the process video for those of you that enjoy them;
And for those of you who are more interested in just the close ups, read on.
The tag does not come with the kit however I wanted somewhere to nestle my journaling. There are two tags that come with the kit however one I had already used and the remaining tan tag was not of the color scheme I was working with. Ergo, something else was necessary. I could have used a plain white tag but really liked how the black print of the dictionary page was a softer look that melded into the layers better.
I used a few of the stamps for the various stamp sets this month for further embellishment. I love that the Cocoa Daisy kits always have a plethora of embellishments and that the stamps and yet another option. You can see the gold vellum that I tuck in behind the cut file for a little added touch.
Rub ons, Thickers, stamping, cut file and layers! Woot! What fun it was to create this layout! Thanks for stopping in today!
Nice to hear your voice! How honest of you to show us how you painted the watercolours round the hearts and then decided to use the other side instead - just the kind of thing that happens :). Lovely page and I enjoyed your video.
