EMO | No Limits Collection | Melissa Vining

Hi everyone, Its Melissa and I’m back today with a new monochromatic layout created with the amazing No Limits collection.  For this layout I decided to create a layout about our nearly 8 year old daughter Brielle.  One day she came out all dressed in black and as a joke told us she was Emo!! We laughed as we didn’t know she even knew what that was!

I used Spark for my background, and I love the brick and mixed media details on it.  I added embellishment moose (applied with my bone folder), and blue and black splatters.

I hand drew the letters on Orbit and I love that they are uneven and aren’t perfect.  I distressed the edges, used some translucent glimmer paste (which I applied with my finger) and popped them up on foam dimension.  I tied white twine on the top of each letter so I could string them from the top of the page.

I backed my photo with blue paper from the A5 Paper Stack, and distressed the edges.  I embellished my page with Die Cut Ephemera, Accessory Stickers, Puffy Stickers and a Wood Button.  I never intended to make this layout monochromatic, but as I added more and more elements I just couldn’t resist using predominantly blue.

I created a video of my process, which you can watch below.

Thanks for looking

Melissa xx
