March challenges - Bliss

I'm entering this layout for 2 challenges. 

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.
