Pinterest is a treasure-trove of visual eye candy, so this month, my Misc Me layout is a pinterest-inspired creation.Solstice by\u00a0Keri Babbitt<\/a><\/p>\n
\"Solstice<\/a><\/div>\n

I was inspired by the cascading silver circles in this Pinterest image:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
I decided to get this ethereal look with a fun new technique – using BoBunny art mediums on the outside of my page protectors!\u00a0 Below is a tutorial to achieve this fun look on your own project.This particular 2-page spread is a bit unique.\u00a0 Rather than left and right facing pages, the layout uses both sides of the page protector, for a see-through pocket effect.\u00a0 To get this type of page started, first I chose photos for both sides of the page protector, and then adhered them to each other and put them in their correct pockets.\u00a0 Then, I started on the mixed media technique.<\/p>\n
\"Solstice<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
I cut an 11.5″ circle out of cardstock, and used it to mask off each corner of the page protector, one at a time.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Solstice<\/a><\/div>\n
I used Sugar Pearlescents to fill in the stencil, then flattened out the paste evenly and scraped off the excess.<\/p>\n
\"Solstice<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
The result is a creamy look that is bold and fun against the dark photos.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Solstice<\/a><\/div>\n

After repeating this process for all eight corners (Do four corners, let dry, then flip over and repeat process for four remaining corners), I added more stenciling onto the middle pockets of the page protector.<\/p>\n

\"Solstice<\/a><\/div>\n

To get a multi-tonal effect, I placed the two pearlescent colors in different spots on the stencil, and then spread glitter paste over the whole thing.<\/p>\n

The less you work the colors with the spreader, the more color variation the final look will have.<\/p>\n

Gorgeous!\u00a0 Note: the glitter paste will dry clear, giving a more icy, sparkly look.\u00a0 If you want this opaque white look to stay, you can get this effect by swapping the glitter paste for modeling paste, or sugar pearlescents.<\/p>\n

After everything was dry, I added my finishing touches.\u00a0 If you are adding glitter, sequins, or confetti to your pockets, make sure to seal them shut with a sewing machine or double-sided tape.\u00a0 Here is the final result:<\/p>\n

\"Solstice<\/a><\/div>\n

I love the peek-a-boo feature of this page, and the circle of dots around each photo edge creates a fun shaping to the layout.\u00a0 See-through elements are great for winter\/snow\/ice themes, like this page about us spreading bird seed around our yard on Winter Solstice.<\/p>\n
