Hello and Welcome to Southern Ridge Trading Co. Ava here today to share a mixed media cover that I created for my sister who has a cottage on a tiny lake called “Otter Lake”.
How cute is this little otter stamp by Unity Stamp Co. ? Here is the link to Unity.
Well lets dive in, as an otter would do along a lake shore and play with all of these wonderful pieces of chipboard by Southern Ridge Trading Co.
Notice the shaded sunshine on all of my elements on my studio table… This is what it’s like lakeside with nature…..so inspiring. Played with all kinds of mixed mediums for this special layout page. Once I was happy with my design, it was stencil and modeling paste time.
The fishnet stencil has been retired, so your alternative is a wonderful Fibers Stencil. I believe you will see lots of designs with this fibers stencil.. Both stencils the feel of fishing nets.
After drying the modeling paste overnight I started to assemble and adhere all the mixed media elements with gel medium by DecoArt. Allow this to dry by using a heat tool and letting it rest for a bit. Then I got out my Tattered Angels mist and gave the page a couple of layers of mist.
Southern Ridge Trading Co. really has a wonderful selection of nature themed chipboard for all of us nature lovers. Be sure to grab your favourite beverage and surf the store you will be so happy to see all the inspirational chipboard pieces.
The texture on this album page is wonderful. The chipboard elements take you lakeside for sure.
All of nature’s creatures live in harmony on this layout.
Can you hear this happy otter playing with his family along the lakeshore? I sure can.
