Påskesol - tutorial May Issue Inzpira magazine

 This layout was made for the May Issue of Inzpira magazine and included a step by step instruction on how to make it. 

Start by covering parts of the white cardstock with clear gesso and let it dry 

Use a water brush to spread water over the gesso

Drop mist over the cardstock and use the water brush to spread it out, wipe away parts of it – and then drop more mist. Let it dry and drop more. It’s important to let it dry if you want tiny drops on top, otherwise the mist will spread out.

When the mist has dried use distress ink together with stencils.

Stamp in black and grey to get different shades of colour

Pick out some coordinating leftover papers and papers from 6x6 paper pads.

Staple the pieces to the cardstock and place out the embellishments.

And a few closeups
