Hey friends,
today I'm back with a new layout using the Chloe collection.
When I thought about what I would create for this layout, an idea popped into my head, where I would make cat heads and use thread all around to stitch and add little embellishments, like beads and sequins.
I thought about the best way that I could do that and I decided to cut out white cat heads, in different sizes, adhere them to patterned papers in rainbow colors, cut them out, leaving a border and then stitch on that same border, adding the embellishments.
That's exactly how I did it and I think it turned out amazing!
For the background, I put gesso all over my white cardstock and then I used acrylic inks to create this mixed media rainbow design. I just put some drops of acrylic ink on the paper, smooshed it around with a brush, spritzed some water and let it spread on the page by turning the paper up and down. I repeated that with seven colors, until the rainbow was complete. I dried it with my heating tool and then added white splatters for more detail.
With all those cute sparkly cat heads, I didn't really need a lot more. I placed them on my paper the way that I liked and chose a photo of my cat, Kätti. I matted it on white paper and adhered it next to my self-made embellishments. Then I used two tags from the die-cuts pack to place behind the photo.
I then went through the die-cuts and chipboard stickers and grabbed all the pieces that I thought I could use. I placed them on my layout and then I also added some enamel hearts.
For my title, I used chipboard words. The "cat" one was gray. To make it stand out more, I painted it black using my black ink from Liquitex.
Then I adhered my title above and on the photo.
I really like how it turned out, especially the beads and sequins on the cat heads. :)
I hope you're inspired to create a cute cat layout using this super pretty collection,
see you very soon,
