Misting and Inking with Quick Quotes

Crafts, Diy, How to, Layout, Paper crafting, Quick Quotes, Scrapbooking, TutorialGabriela SimsComment

Hi everyone, Gabriela here and today I'm doing a scrapbook layout using some paper weaving, misting, and inking.  I am scrapping a photo from Wizard World that includes a very brightly colored monster, so I wasn't afraid to mix patterns and colors here.  I did my misting first and then used a heat tool to help it dry, it will curl a little, but once you have this in a page protector for a few days it will flatten itself.  I'm using cut strips of paper and chalking ink that I thought went with the photo, you could use different collections and colors to get a completely different look, check out the video below.









I think you could change just a few elements on the page and use this layout for lots of occasions/themes.  I hope it inspired you to "lift" this page and gave you another idea for how to use your ink pads, thanks for stopping by.

Quick Quotes Products Used:

49 Shades of Grey - 101, 105
Whistlin Dixie - 100, 105
Powder Puff Chalking Inks - Lemon Sorbet, Pixie Pink

Until next time, happy crafting!

Hi there everyone! Today I'm doing a review of the combo Creative Station from Xyron.  I've had my original 5" Creative Station for a while now and I was waiting to get this amazing combo and the chance finally came around to get a great deal  on a bundle. Check out the video below:

 

It was super easy to use and I love the convenience of using both cartridge sizes. Until next time, happy crafting!
