It's Friday! Are you planning on having some crafty time during the weekend? Well, there's a great challenge over at 7 Dots Studio (link) to get you going or maybe you can find inspiration in this video I did. You can see the original post on the 7 Dots Studio blog here (link).
The topic of the page is my darling husband. I just love these kinds of photos, him with either or both of our girls, goofing around. As the topic of the page is happy and joyous, I wanted the colors and embellishments to bring out that feeling as well. So I chose to go with yellow, orange and red.
I started the page with monoprinting using a small Gelliplate and then continued building layers with acrylic paints and stamping. I also added both white and golden glitter splashes to the page. When adding the final touches, I also added some rhinestones to add more of that sparkle!
I did a couple of things differently this time. First of all, this video is my very first voice over one. First? you say. Yes, this was the first one I did - but when the publishing time came, some of the videos passed this one. But please tell me what you like! I guess this video has the same problem than the one I published already with the volume level, but I've tried to better than in the future ones.
I also made this video longer than my usual ones. I was asked to show more about the paper layering and embellishing process so instead of editing those out, I left them in. Hope you like it!

Riikka - your gelli plated background is so wonderful! Your page is gorgeous with wonderful and happy colors - and the photo is adorable. Thanks for sharing your awesome video process.
Fabulous projects! Love the mixed media monoprinting technique!
Wow! That video is amazing! You make it look so easy. Maybe I will be brave enough to use my gelling plate soon.
