                                    A day to create

Last week I didn't touch my craft table.  By the weekend I just couldn't keep away and set out to create something, anything so I hit the blog challenges for inspiration.  Here is the results!



My first Frosted Designs kits arrived in the mail filled so tons of goodies.  For this layout I used the "We are Family" kit.  I started with the Tim Holtz doily stencil and texture paste.  Next I applied a couple of coats of walnut stain followed by various Shimmerz paints and products to deepen and enhance the background.  I also applied the walnut stain to this gorgeous Creative Embellishments fence piece.  I did a bit of fussy cutting with another piece of the kit's papers and added them to the garden. 

This is a sweet picture of my grandmother as a child standing outside by a rose bush.  She is holding her hands behind her back.  I know, I know, it really does look like she is armless!  lol!

      Paper
Carta Bella Flourish and Large Floral
Authentique Harmony components

Embellishments
Creative Embellishments, fence chipboard
Kaiser Kraft, wood flourish,  bird branch
The Robin's Nest, Tear drops
Stash items, metal butterflies
 Tim Holtz, doily stencil

Products
Shimmerz,  Sugar Plum, Golden Wheat, Spritz(Cotton Candy), Texturize(Gold Mine)
Ingvild  Bolme,Dark Bark and Olive Vine chalk ink
Homemade texture paste

Thank you for visiting today!

Studio 75  about women I chose the quote "You are capable of amazing things".

Off the Rails  I turned the sketch on it's side.  I used the colors and the old time elements as inspiration for my layout.
 

Beyond Grey  Make a mixed media project using more than one medium (gesso, mist, ink, gel medium, texture paste, pain). It has to be visible in your work.
