As promised here is the tutorial to go with my layout yesterday.
Hello again 7 Dots
Fans! HELEN here with you
today & I am happy to say
that it is Tutorial Time! Today I am going to
show you how to make an interesting
& unique layout using 7 Dots Studio, Destination
Unknown, papers, stickers & stamps.
You will also need some sharp scissors, suitable for
fussy-cutting.
I love the Tim Holtz Tonic scissors for this job as
they have
serrated blades so really grip to your papers & ensure
perfect accuracy.
To add some colour you will need some mists and inks. Your
favourite brand will do!
You can find the whole collection of “Destination Unknown” HERE on the 7 Dots Studio
Website. Although it is a nautical collection it can
be used in so many different ways.
You can see HERE how I have
used the meaning of the title ‘’Riding the wave together
To tie the title in with the theme of the collections.
I used a small inkpad to darken the edges of the papers in
my paper stack & gelatos
& Pitt pens to outline all my elements, but you can
achieve the same type of effect
With any pens, pastels or inks that you have on hand.
If you don’t have specialised
Blending tools triangular cosmetic sponges work great too!
7 Dots Studio Products Used :-
Background Paper – Destination Unknown – Journey
Fussy-cut pieces – Destination Unknown – Night Sky
Punched Circles – Destination Unknown – Journey
Journaling Labels – Destination Unknown – Travel Bag
Stickers – Destination Unknown – Element Stickers

So much Mixed Media fun to be had with these products!
As you can see, no puckering or warping to be had – these

versatile!

Lovely tut, Helen. My Pitt Artists big brush pen is black is the MOST used tool in my arsenal. I've not seen izinks used before, but have marked them down as 'possible buys'...good to see them here! And I won those papers in a giveaway an ADORE them. Almost all gone! You've ROCKED using them here:):)
LOVE you LO, it is so wonderful!!
Thank you so much for sharing how you made this!!!!!
Stunning step by step... I never get all my stuff together at the beginning - I just figure it out as I go along. Maybe that is why i have such trouble with my mojo... THink this also happens when you just have way to much stuff :P I can never find anything. :D I think this is a wonderful way to go about it. Love the colours and the fussy cutting too. I have just got some of the big marker things... can't wait to play with them.
Awesome tutorial...and the way you use up everything...even the centers of alphabet letters are amazing. Thank you for the step-by-step.
