Wild & Free

Today we’ve created a layout using the sketch at DCWV February Stack-a-holic challenge and the theme- Together and Ampersand from More Than Words February challenge.

We used the Royal Gypsy paper stack from DCWV for this layout. This was a fun layout. TO begin with we rotated the sketch to the left. We cut the feathers on the paper to make them pop up and look real, did some layering, fussy cut elements from the same paper pack, added some dimensional paint with a stencil and rolled up paper for a fun dimension.
