Mexico Memories - Quick Quotes




Morning Scrappy Friends!! Today at Quick Quotes I'm sharing a layout I did of one of Nicole & Chris's Mexico photos. I wish I could say that body on the beach is me, but nope.. it's Nicole! Wish I looked that good, lol. 
For this layout I used a little modeling paste to add some texture to my background. I took my Blue Hawaiian PowderPuff Chalking Ink and chalked over the paste to blend it back into my background. The quotes from the Stowaway 6x6 Paper Stack  had just the right elements to complete my layout. I love that the Paper Stacks not only have paper, they have quotes in them too. I then distressed the edges and used the Amaretto PowderPuff Chalking Ink to finish them off.


I also used the Amaretto to color my chipboard, then stamped with the Blue Hawaiian over top to give it a little more dimension. I'm having so much fun with these new inks, that nothing goes untouched now on my projects! Hope your all having a fabulous day and thank you for letting me share my project with you today.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I so appreciate each an every comment. They make my day!
