{Great Smoky Mountains} Using the Offbeat Limitless Kit

 Hi scrappy friends! Lacey here with my first layout of the month using the "Offbeat" Limitless Kit and Add ons. 

I used a past layout I created as a starting point for this on. I often like to scrap lift myself as a challenge to see how I can create the layout with something new! You can see my original layout over on my Instagram account @laceylynn. 

I used tons of mixed media products on my background along with some stamps from my stash to create a messy grungy page. I started with Distress Oxide inks and some stencils then came back over that with some black archival ink with the stamps. To apply the inks I used a blending brush through the stencil. This is a great way to get as little or as much coverage that you want. 

I then cut my patterned paper into chevron shapes and distressed the edges with a paper distresser. I applied them in a line across the center of the page leading your eye to the photo. I used lots of layers to build up behind my photo and add some depth to the layout. I like lots of textures and dimension on my pages. 

To finish off those chevrons I added the dark wood buttons from the main kit to the center of each one. For my title I used a sticker that we picked up on our vacation and added it to the left side of the photo. I added a few embellishments from the 49 & Market laser cut elements to finish it off.
