2016/17 Kaisercraft Design Team Application

Hello! :)

I was chosen to participate in Round 2 

of the 2016/17 Kaisercraft  Design Team call out. 

It's a great honour to me! 

This post is my Round 2 submission.

I created one project using 

Kaisercraft products provided. 

It's a layout I created using amazing 

Boho Dreams collection. 

I used Kaisercraft products:

- Boho Dreams papers 12x12'';

- Mandala 12x12'' designer Template;

- 12x12'' Cork Sheets;

- Collectables Boho Dreams;

- Paper Blooms;

- Kaiser Mists white & denim;

I used as well:

- texture paste;

- cardboard;

- 3D foam stickers;

- white thread;

- 2 sided adhesive tape;

- crochet doily;

- white liquid pearls

- washi tape.

I wanted to create a layout, cause I love layouts

with a drop of mixed media and with beautiful paper

 elements, and for sure Kaisercraft has what I needed!

I was inspired by the feeling of freedom and wilderness 

and it's something you definitely feel working with 

Boho Dreams collection. I used Native American Girl's

 picture found in Internet and it gave me 

an additional inspiration.

Here are progress photos of my project:

Step 1: I prepared supplies.

***

Step 2: I've trimed 12x12'' paper sheets to the desired size. 

I used beautiful watercoloured paper 

with the touch of mint and cool denim-coloured 

planks paper. I've glued papers together.

***

Step 3: I used texture paste through the stencil...

***

Step 4:...and I created a half pattern of mandala.

I used washi tape just to protect denim paper 

and to create a sharp and clear edge 

of my stenciled pattern created on the paper.

***

Step 5: Texture paste needs to dry, 

so now I've cut out some paper elements 

from 12x12'' paper sheets - a dreamcatcher 

and a word "dreamer" 

(I really adore this handwritten font ♥)

***

Step 6: I took some paper elements from Collectables set,

later I will match some of them to fit my project. 

I used only some of these elements

and some blue and orange flowers.

***

Step 7: I've added a cork frame under my picture 

and some white thread.

It adds the "wilderness and freedom" feeling.

***

Step 8: Under the layer of cork I've glued 

a layer of a cardboard to add some 3D dimension.

***

Step 9: Now it's time to start composing my layout.

***

Step 10: I've glued some 3D foam stickers 

to make some elements pop-up.

***

Step 11: I've covered paper-elements&flowers composition 

with a piece of paper and I added some white 

and denim spots and splashes around straight 

from the bottle using the straw - it's one 

of my favourite techniques to use sprays. 

I love to create really small spots 

to enrich my background.

***

Step 12: I added some liquid pearls accents in the end.

***

Step 13: And....voila!

Here some details and close-ups:

Aren't these paper elements just adorable?!

I love the combination of mint, denim and orange ♥

It's the dreamcatcher cut-out from the sheet of paper, 

but you can find some dreamcatchers 

in the Collectable's set too!

I hope you like my layout :)

Have a lovely day!
