What a masterpiece, full of inspiration on this layout. Gabrielle captured the perfect moment in her photo. It is the fine details along with her priceless photo that make this layout so amazing. Gabrielle Pollacco is a very creative and talented lady so be sure to visit more of her beautiful creations at Such A Pretty Mess.
Gabrielle translated just the right mood as she created her page layout using just the perfect paper and embellishments for a great mixed media look.
Using several chipboard pieces from The Dusty Attic, Gabrielle painted all the pieces white to start then used a variety of inks and paints to lightly color the chippies.
Adding white and blue flowers plus leaves from The Dusty Attic gives this page a finished look.
She then painted the little bird house with Navajo White and inked with some brown chalk. She added a coat of the DA Crackle medium. For the shell she mixed a little sand into some Gesso to add some texture to it. Lastly, a little sea glass finished her look of the beach.
For the corner chippie she did a little script stamping along with adding the Dusty Attic Crackle medium on top of it. What a gorgeous layout. Thank you so much Gabrielle for sharing such a wonderful inspiration with us.
