hi everyone its Keren here and welcome back to my channel I want to wish you a
Happy New Year in case I haven't wished it already or you haven't seen one of my
videos from the new year I just created today a scrapbooking
layout using the new Prima marketing poetic rose collection I really love the
soft colors of this collection and you know how I love making layouts that are
beach themed so I did use a picture from my daughter when she was at the beach
and I used all the soft colors for it I took two different types of paper the
first one has a honeycomb shaped background and all I did is cut around
the honeycomb pattern with scissors I went around and cut vertical strips
throughout the whole paper for the second paper I simply ripped the
vertical strips using my hands I just ripped the paper and I knew I was going
to put it in between the other paper that I had cut with the scissors
I also took the back of that paper and used it to rip some more strips but this
time I was going to use the back of it which had a really nice script print so
I could use three different types of patterns to create this layout once I
had all the patterns figure out I started putting one on top of the other
to create the page I used a third paper that I had on hand just to measure up
the size of the paper so to make sure that when I was putting on the strips
that it would be a 12 by 12 size because it was really hard to tell when I was
putting one on top of the other that way I had the exact measurement I did the
same thing for the other side of the page on the left side however I used
smaller thinner strips to create the same type of pattern on the left side of
the page that way it would create a really nice flow horizontally through
the paper to create some texture in the background I used a stencil by Finn a
bear this is a new stencil called passive Flo
and I also use the paper texture paste which I love to use this is a white
textured paste and I really wanted to keep it really simple and very
light-colored so I used a paste that has no color basically white just to add
some texture to the background and to blend the edges of all the ripped areas
so I wanted it all to blend in and make it a cohesive smooth area in the
background to Matt the photo I use a few journaling cards these are the 4 by 6
journaling cards that come with the collection the poetic rose collection
and I just framed it using a few of those I cut some of them and use some of
the patterns even though they have beautiful coats in the background I just
knew that it would be nice to just have those sticking out from behind the photo
once I was happy with the Matt I took some foam tape and without removing any
of the papers I added some foam tape to erase them a little bit and create some
volume to the Matt behind the photo finally I use the same foam tape to
stick the picture to the background I really wanted to have it raised so I
could stick different flowers in between the layers and have it raised enough
that the flowers fit underneath the photo I also arranged the flowers the
way I wanted them I don't show this on this video but I just use big and small
flowers to just arrange around the photo I like anchoring the bigger flowers near
the folder and then smaller ones as you go away from the photo then I took two
tickets that also come with this collection and added them as titles all
the flowers I glued with fabric glue then I took some of the Satan crystals
gemstones and added them underneath the flowers and kind of giving the movement
or going up and down the page because everything had a vertical movement on
the background I knew that I wanted to have some of those sticking out from the
top and bottom of the page I also added some frayed cheesecloth
which I love adding to create a very soft look to any layout so all I do is
just rip a few pieces and stick them underneath the flowers it gives it a
beautiful soft touch and makes it look so pretty and so shabby chic finally I
took the white paper texture and using a paintbrush added a little bit of texture
to the flowers to the papers and basically all the embellishments this
really brought everything together and created that similar texture that I had
in the background I love this added touch and I know I do very similar
layouts all the time however I just love this technique and I
really want to emphasize how much I love adding texture to the background a love
soft colors pastel colors and this was the perfect layout to create for this
