The Swirlydoos Kit Club October kit is just delightful filled with Prima's Epiphany and Blue Fern Studio's Montage collections. The add ons compliment the main kit so perfectly that you're going to want those too!
I've used a couple sheets from the Epiphany line for this layout and I painted the base page with clear gesso before misting and masking. I like to use clear gesso underneath as it allows me to control the mist better. If I don't like the mist I can clean it off when there is clear gesso underneath.
On this LO I have used a Prima mask and heavy white gesso for my stenciling. I've completed my look with flowers and embellishments from the add on kits.
Swirlydoos includes a sketch with each kit and this is my interpretation of this month's sketch. I love the black lace and printed white flowers that came in the add on kits. I've used a Crafters Workshop mask on the circle, a chicken wire stamp, and a dots foam stamp with paint to complete my look.
The main kit includes a canvas honeycomb resist paper. I tore off strips and inked them and then fashioned the strips around my circles.
This is my favorite layout from the kit! The photo is of my Mom and her little sister. Again, I chose Prima's Epiphany papers for this layout and painted the base paper with clear gesso. I misted and then masked overtop the misting.
The chipboard flourishes that I've used came in the main kit and I've embossed them with Ranger Antiquities embossing powder. The flowers I've used are from the flower add on. The flower add on is always my favorite add on, but this month's is even better than usual and it is a moost have!!! All the flowers are Prima and they are just divine!
