Love

My Hubby saw my previous layout and complained that he was neglects vis-a-vis my son! haha... so I decided to do a layout of him and me. Except that it's so hard to find a decent photo. Nonetheless, I found one.

I took this during one of our lunches together.

Hubs works quite close to home, so sometimes he would drive home for lunch, impromptu. We went out for lunch and a coffee together. It's a little time together in the midst of our busy schedule.

For this layout, I started with white cardstock.

I put white gesso on it.

Sprayed mist on it, 3 colours. Dark red, pink and a light tinge of orange

Then I mixed some modelling paste with 13@arts red Ayeeda paint and put it through a stencil.

(I initially wanted to do a whole page, but since the stencil was only 6 * 9inches, I ended up with this pattern, which I thought was better than thought).

I then used gelato, 3 greens to create the green background. I smudged the ends. That's it for my background.

I used the sentiment from 2crafy, with some flowers from Prima, die-cut borders and some bling. and it's done.

Please do leave some comments and feedback! Thanks!

March challenges - Bliss

I'm entering this layout for 2 challenges. 

@More than words &

@Blue fern studios

Having a boy after 3 girls is more than 'bliss' for me, it's a feeling of gratitude to God and contentment. However, having 4 kids is always quite a crazy busy time.

Here, I used clear gesso to prime the paper from the Blue Fern Studio's Autumn Anthology series, followed by some resist-stamping of sentiments in the background.  I also added some blue washi tape. I then used water-downed white gesso to paint over the washi tapes so that I can add more colours with gelatos.

I added some blue microsphere for texture and used red glass glitter for accent.

I added red flower stickers and flowers for the finishing touch.

I did some random stamping on the sentiment. Then I added blue paint & mist to water-downed white gesso

Red stickers sticking out, with red glass glitter and red roses.
