Photo Tutorial by Anna Rogalska {Design Team "Moment To Shine"}





Hi Everyone!  
Starting this month on the 24th & 28th of each month we will be highlighting 2 
members of our Design Team in a series call " Design Team Moment To Shine".
We hope to inspire YOU in a BIG way through this series!

 Today we have a step-by-step photo tutorial by Design team member 
Anna Rogalska, from Poland, inspired by our current challenge HERE.



Hello! My name is Anna Rogalska. I live in Poland & work as a garden designer.
I've been scrapbooking for nearly 6 years. My scrapping style is romantic,

 a little shabby & I love mixed-media.  I am definitely a flower addict! 
My favourite forms are layouts, cards & tags. I love to collect inks, paints, 
mists & masks to use in my work. You can find my blog here.


For the June reveal I only showed you a sneak peak of the layout
 I created from Di's June Mood Board so  here is THE FULL REVEAL!


Now I will show you how to achieve this for yourself :)

STEP 1
Cover your page with a thin layer of gesso &  let dry
 naturally or dry off using your heat/embossing gun.
Choose papers & layer them in the order you want them to
 appear on your page. Glue the papers. Use stamps randomly.
 

STEP 2
 Using your mask apply a thick layer of texture paste randomly, in various
 areas on your page & let it dry, either naturally or using your heat gun. 
To apply texture paste you can use an old credit card or similar.


STEP 3
Start applying yellow mists randomly. 
Add water if desired & allow the colour to spread & form patterns. 
Add green chalk ink to chipboard. Allow to dry completely.



STEP 4
Once dry, add small splashes with black & white gesso. 
Add a few paper flowers.
Wait for everything to be thoroughly dry or dry off with your heat gun.



STEP 5
Start adding your chosen elements:-  photograph, more flowers,
 leaves, chipboard 'Love' title, wire heart & embellishments.


STEP 6
Apply text stamp randomly.  Don't use a stamping block as
 holding the stamp in your hands makes for a freer look.
{stamps come from 7Dots Studio - Cold Country Collection HERE}

(7Dots Studio is one of our 2014 Major Sponsors.  You can find a list
of retailers on the 7Dots Studio site & purchase from your nearest store
OR directly from them IF there is no supplier in the country you live.)



STEP 7
Add more yellow color using a mist & yellow paint with white gesso.
 You can blot off excess with a paper towel. Add stickers with subtitles.



STEP 8 
Complete your layout using more flowers, chipboards
 (butterflies), pearls & adding more mists if desired.


Your layout is done!


A few close ups . . .



You can see that I love lots of detail!
