Hello friends,
Sunila and Aditi here from Dots to Lines and today we're back with a fun mixed media layout to inspire you all! We've been playing with the new release love Actually Paper Pack, Mini shakers and the shaker beads and we cannot tell you how much fun it has been.

So here's a look at the layout.


For this layout, we've used the Papericious Textured White Cardstock. We used a square die and cut out squares of various patterns and sizes. We then painted the mini shakers with gold acrylic paint, for the background inside, stuck the same pattern papers. We added a mix of sequins and shaker beads and got our mini shakers ready. On the white cardstock, we added some texture with a stencil and gel medium mixed with metallic paints. We then sprinkled crystal clear powder onto it. We then added some splatter using sprays. We then arranged our squares as diamonds and stuck them with foam tape. On a few of them, we added some sentiments fussy cut from the paper pack. We also fussy cut some flowers from the pattern papers and die cut some ferns. Our focal element is the mini heart shaker, so we layered gauge, fussy cut, die cut elements, and two badges. We added some sequins with gel medium randomly. We completed the layout using the title on the cover page of the pack placed in the similar diamond manner like our other papers.

Here are some close-ups:

 Step 1: I separated all the layers of the mini shaker elements so as to paint them neatly. I love the fact that these individual layers can also be used for projects in many different ways.


 Step 4: Once the paints were super dry I selected the gorgeous shaker beads in coordinating colours. Just added some and then placed the acetate sheet and locked it with the top most layer using a strong adhesive.
