Love! Love! Love!

So here I go again stealing sweet little kiddos!  This time I swiped a super sweet picture of my friend Lisa's granddaughters.  I thought this photo was just too precious for words!  This project was made using a mixture of SOD/SOE kits that I had lying around my scrap room. 

I started with a layers of small pieces of paper that I eventually gesso'd over to remind me where my focal point and picture would be.  Then I did some random misting and painting all over the paper.  The paper was gorgeous to begin with so I stuck with mainly water colors and sheer mists to keep the integrity of the paper.  I took a Blue Fern Studios chipboard piece and gave it a soft green color followed with some iridescent medium for shimmer and a few touches of gesso.   

Below you can see where I started to layer some flowers and trinkets over the chipboard .  I used a Renea's Bouquet butterfly.  You can see just a hair smidge of a roman clock stamp and some sweet lace that I tucked in as well!  :)

 

 

Below is a close up of more stamping, more misting, more flowers, and some bling (just for fun)!  You can also catch a glimpse of mica flakes near the top of the picture! 

 



I loved the Blue Fern Studios paper pictured below with the pink toned wood grain.  I had some scraps of this paper left so I decided to cut the "planks" of wood out.  I distressed the pieces then "fit" them back together to create the base work for my picture "frame".  A resin butterfly and a chipboard butterfly (popped out from the other green piece) completed the sweetness of this LO!

 

 

One more quick close up of the misting and the pink wood "planks"!  

 

 

 

 

Thank you so much for looking!  Till next time!
