We are family
Hi there ! Sharing my last layout with you today as a part of the design team. The last 6 month was a real pleasure sharing and creating with the amazing Bramble Fox product !!

So today I have a page from my traveler notebook. I started by using modeling paste with a stencil and pallet knife.

Then I soak up my fountain brush with my watercolor and drop the color here and there. I did not use any gesso on my paper, this paper from the Jane Davenport line is pretty good for that.

Then with a little technique I quite like I smush around the color with a plastic, here I use a plastic envelope.

Then I use that awesome stencil from Bramble Fox with my favorite gold paint. Its work so well with that sponge from Tim Holtz, you just need a bit of paint to get a sharp image of your stencil.

Now its was time to decorate. I use that We are family perspectives, its was just perfect with my color scheme and this picture from NYE of my family.
