Always Be Your Awesome Self | No Limits | Kellie Moore

Welcome back to the blog CVS fans, it’s Kel here today to share a page with you.

For today’s share, I wanted to create a ‘boy’ page and get some mixed media out so I decided to pull out my ‘No Limits’ collection. I still love this collection as much as I did when it was released so here is a look …

To create my background I started with some Distress Oxides in Faded Jeans, Fossilised Amber and Evergreen Bough. I added the ink onto some packaging, spritzed some water and ‘smooshed’ it onto my page. To the left of my page I used a stencil with some grey ink to add some more pattern, then used a black marker to add some detail.

I decided I wanted to have stars as a main shape on my page so I also added some green texture paste through a star stencil…they give the page a lot of texture!

To create some fun and to focus in on the photo of my son, I cut the silhouette of him out of my photo…this takes out the background noise in my picture.

Next, I cut out some circles to add a grounding element to my page and to lay out embellishments. From the ‘Universal’ paper I cut out the green ‘Always be your Awesome Self’ cut apart and decided to use this as my title. I cut the words apart and added them to the top left and bottom right of my photo…added with foam for the dimension and to make them ‘pop.’

To ground my photo to the page I added a tag, arrow and hand icon from the Ephemera pack…

Next, I bought in some of the stars from the Ephemera pack and the star Puffy Stickers to carry on with the star theme.

To finish of my page,I added some more stamping in black to make the colours on my page pop…love this look.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope I have inspired you today.

See you next time!
