"Happy" Layout with Hazel and Ruby and Kiwi Lane

Hello, hello!  I'm here today with a layout I made using Hazel and Ruby's Celebrate Word Masks, Pass the Tissue Quote Collage, Sequin Tubes Green with Envy and Gone Typo collection kit.  Here's what my layout looked like after I framed it using my Kiwi Lane Design Templates:
And here's my finished layout:

Supplies: cardstock (American Crafts, Core'dinations); patterned paper, tissue paper, sequins, masks (Hazel and Ruby); buttons (Basic Grey, October Afternoon); alphabet stickers (Making Memories); spray ink (Studio Calico); ink (Ranger)

Templates used:
Chevrons 1A, 3A
Mini Madison 3A, 3B

I used my Hazel and Ruby masks and some spray ink to have two of the word "happy" remain white and I used them as a layer of my title.  I used a few ink colors- blue, green and yellow.  It helped bring in the patterned paper and broke up some of the white background.  Here is what my background looked like after I sprayed it:

Then I just peeled off the reusable masks (and they were super easy to use, by the way!) and started building my layers.  I used both sides of the Mini Madison templates together to make a longer border for the tissue.  Then I tore the tissue against the edge of the templates to get a funky and messy look.  
The look was finished up with a few sprays of my yellow ink and left to dry for a few minutes.  I used double sided tape and the smashing method to attach it to my page as a border under the two larger photos.  The smashing method is pretty much what it seems- I put one side down on the tape and smashed and folded until I got a look I liked.  The last layer of my page was the brown letter stickers to finish off my title and some buttons and sequins. 

And there you have it!  I'm so loving these Hazel and Ruby masks!  As soon as I started using them, a plethora of ideas and uses popped into my head- can't wait to use them again and make more pretty stuff!!
