Hey, all! Welcome back to my blog! Here are some more photos and a video of the project I did for Rae’s “Masculine Layout” challenge, sponsored by the Tres Jolie Kit Club, for International Scrapbooking Day (iNSD)!
To recap, the challenge was to create a masculine layout that included stenciling and chipboard, plus a bonus for using flowers! I used four stencils, I have a piece of chipboard from the May scrapbooking kit and some Grungeboard from my stash, and I got the flowers on…something that isn’t always easy with a “masculine” layout! Plus, and I like to think my subconscious was helping me out here, my layout fits this months sketch challenge (with the sketch rotated 180°, shown below).

Check out my video to see what I did!
 |
 |
| I layered my stenciling on top of each other before topping with my Grungeboard chevrons! | With all the stenciling, there was already so much going on that I opted to keep it relatively simple around the photo. |
 |
 |
| I created the colors I wanted for both of the texture pastes using the paints from the Mixed Media kit & items from my stash (see video for full details!) | The chevrons were painted with just simple black gesso (from the Mixed Media kit! to keep them nice and matte! |
 |
 |
| Getting flowers on a masculine layout isn’t always easy, but I dug into my stash and pulled out pack of neutral flowers. | I don’t know how long I’ve owned those Tim Holtz Framed Words, but I found a place for “Adventure” with this layout! |
I hope that you were able to join us over at Tres Jolie for the iNSD challenges! I also hope that this layout gave you an idea of what can be done with items from the kits this month, and with the sketch!
