Imaginarium Designs Chipboard Sept Theme- Kraft + melon Challenge.

Over at Kraft+ they have a fantastic Kraft+ melon colour challenge. I couldn't wait to use my melon coloured Lindy's Stamp Gang on my Imaginarium Design Chipboard to show case what a simple use of colour on this fantastic chippie can add to your scrapbooking memories. 
This layout is of my beautiful daughter, how the years have passed, she has grown to become a beautiful woman and mother. So proud of you honey.

The items I used included:

• 12"x12" Kraft Paper stock
• Matte gel medium- Ranger
• Lindy's Stamp Gang Flat Pabio; Merci Beaucoup Mint, Frenchy's Pink Pouf and Mango Mania
• Modeling Paste 
• Kaisercraft 'Sktechy' cling stamp
• Stencil - Stencil Girl 'circles, circles'
• Black wire thread
• Cardboard and hessian
• Kaisercraft 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" paper 'Enchanted Garden'
• Imaginarium Design Chipboard- Skeletal feather, Picture of you and Nat's heart in a frame.

 After sealing the kraft paper with a light coating of gel medium I placed my stencil over the dry paper and sprayed it with the 3 Lindys Stamp Gang sprays in 3 different areas.  While it was drying I made up 3 small batches of coloured modeling paste using a small amount of each of the sprays in each batch of paste. Realigning the stencil over the paper I smeared each coloured modeling paste over a couple of sections in it's corresponding section. I then left it to dry.

Keeping with the natural  Kraft+ theme my photo stack comprised of cardboard, hessian and a kraft pocket which I'd used the Kaisercraft 'sketchy' stamp with Black StazOn and mint ink to stamp onto it with. The Imaginarium Design chipboard was coloured using the mint spray sprayed onto the unsealed feather and small frame, the 'picture of you' was coated with black gesso. The hearts were roughly covered with the pink modeling paste to tie it together with the background and I also added a small smear of the paste over the small mint frame when the spray was dry to give it a mottled effect. 

To finish my layout I backed my larger photo with Kaisercraft Enchanted garden paper and framed it with some black wire thread from Prima, I then slipped the school photos into the pocket and attached the frame over the last photo and glued on my title and hearts.
