Flying Unicorn January Kit Build a Page Tutorial


HI everyone, today I have a BAP Pictorial with the FlyingUnicorn January KOM to share with you. I have included lots of steps along the way to share how I have created this.
 

 
Step 1:
Choose some coordinating papers from the kit. I have also included that yummy corrugated board to work with.

 Step 2:
Trim the top sheet, I have made it about 11 ¼ x 11 ¼ . Distress edges on top and bottom sheets. On the top sheet I have used some Vintage Photo Distress Ink from Tim Holtz.

 Step 3:
Glue the two sheets together.

 Step 4:
Tear the corrugated board by hand, a piece just a bit bigger than your photo.

 Step 5:
From one of the coordinating papers tear by hand a piece larger than the torn corrugated board piece. Use the same Vintage Photo Distress Ink and do the edges.

 Step 6:
Just lay these pieces on the layout until you like the placement of them. Do not attach yet.

 Step 7:
With a pencil, mark where the photos will be placed later on.

 Step 8:
I have used some molding paste and a Prima Mask to add some texture around where the photo will be placed.

 Step 9:
Here you can see I have used the mask all around where the photo will go. Dry with a heat tool or air dry.

 Step 10:
Spray some Tattered Angels Coffee Shop Glimmer mists where the masking is.

 Step 11:
I have taken a tea bag and let it steep strong in just a bit of hot water. Lay that tea bag on your layout, you want it farily wet.

 Step 12:
Lay some scrap paper on top of the tea bag.

 Step 13:
Use your fist and hit down on tea bag. Not too hard. This will leave a great splat on the paper. I have only done one splat because I broke the tea bag LOL! But sometimes I will get it a big wet and do it again.

 Step 14:
Use a heat tool to dry the splat or air dry.

 Step 15:
Pick your embellishments. I will use the Fabscraps chippy butterflies, the Prima Vine and I have fussy cut the bird element from the Packaging in the kit.

 Step 16:
Lay everything out and when you like the placement, use glue and pops ups to add to your layout. I have also added in a sentiment that I had in my stash.



 I hope that you enjoyed my BAP and I hope that you give it all a try. Please share if you try it out! Stop by the Flying Unicorn store to stock up on all your scrappy supplies!
