A project begins...

Hi, everyone!!!  Sorry it's been a bit since my last blog post!  March has been super busy and crazy and I've had a little trouble with the blog again!  I wanted to share this LO.  It's going be the start of a pretty long series honoring a friend who recently passed away.  The picture in this LO is one that I plan to use four times on different LOs so that they can be shared among A's closest friends as need be.  I was working the March Kit from Scraps of Elegance "Anna's Daydream". 

I used one of the beautiful papers from the kit as a background as well as the gorgeous daisy stencil and some various Lindy's Stamp Gang mists to create a more layered background.  I then took modeling paste and tinted it with some copperish metallic paint and some pink powdered paint pigment to create the texture in the two corners. 

I layered and distressed some papers from the kit along with some lace and a little bronze key from a previous kit.  I used some Tim Holtz and Prima ebellishments from my stash to add a little extra sweetness to the LO.

Below you can see some flower layering work . I used on of the bronze embellishments from the kit and layered a flower from the kit Floral Add On (I colored it with a couple different shades of Lindy's Mists) and added a flower from my stash on top.  The little pink flower with the blue splotches was also from the Floral Add On, but I wanted to mute the bright pink a little bit so I used some of the blue colored modeling pasteon the center and some of the petals (making sure not to cover all of the center, of course).

 

I hope you enjoy this LO.  There will certainly be more and more to come!!

 

Love,

Mel
