How To Layer Your Scrapbooking Elements using Doodlebug Design & Video

Hello! Karla back again today with two more layouts using the adorable Doodlebug Design Winter Wonderland collection, the Marvy Snow Marker and the Wild Whisper Strength Of The Season Sequins. Sometimes it's hard to figure out how to incorporate several different designs of papers as well as all those cute stickers and ephemera, but if you take it step by step it really isn't hard at all! I've made a video, linked below, where you can see the process I use to layer up all these fun elements - AND show you how easy it is to use the awesome Snow Marker!

In the first layout you can see how I use various patterned papers - with a base of white cardstock. The green paper with white snow and the sweater print paper are both a more subtle pattern and let the moose border and SNOW cards shine!

I added some Distress Oxide Ink around the edges of some of the elements to give them a slight shadow. The Floral Spice Thickers complete my title. PS They are on sale!!

I layered on sticker words on top of the 3x4 card from the cut apart sheet and the pink snowflake, and then even added a few more pops of colour with the sequin mix.

I glued down the cute moose from the Odds & Ends pack and then popped up the Love This sticker from the 12x12 sticker sheet using foam tape. A tiny heart sticker from the cardstock sticker sheets is then added on top of that!

For the next layout I added in some mixed media in coordinating colours using Distress Oxide Sprays. You can see how this layout comes together in the video below!

Don't forget you can unscrew the Distress Oxide Sprays and use the nozzle for a more direct splatter effect. I also used some plastic packaging and did a smooshing technique for the background layer.

The Marvy Snow Marker is really fun to use and creates highlights, texture and dimension. The key is to let it dry slightly after applying and then carefully heat while keeping your heat gun moving. You can easily add a second layer for even more snowy goodness!

I had so much fun layering and adding pops of colour on this layout!!

Here's a look at the VIDEO where you can see just how I put this layout together!
