Little sweetie ~LGS reveal~

Good morning all! It's time for another amazing sketch reveal at Let's Get Sketchy.
Here is the fun sketch...
And this is the layout I created...
I was in the mood for some bright spring colors. I used Pink Paislee's Spring Jubilee and Fancy Pants papers.  I did some messy punching to the background using Martha Stewart border punches, then inked the edges with Tim Holtz distress ink in Vintage Photo. A little gesso on the background, then a couple light sprays of Cherry Limeade by Tattered Angels. The chipboard pieces are by Crate Paper- the Emma's Shoppe collection. And a couple close-ups to share...
Thanks for stopping in! For even more inspiration head over to Let's Get Sketchy and check out what the other ladies of the DT have to share with you. They have some beautiful projects to inspire you. I hope to see you link up with us this month. Have a great Monday!

My angel on earth

Well hello again! This is my second post of the day. This time around I'm sharing a new layout that I'm submitting to the Let's Get Shabby sketch challenge. I loved the sketch, it's so versatile you can really have fun with it. Here's the sketch...
And here's what I created...
And some close-ups...
 For the chipboard wings, I gave them a rough coat of gesso. When dry I simply gave them a coat of gold ink, then layered them over feathers.
 On the background I lightly sprayed Perfect Pearls mist in Heirloom gold. And randomly stamped with gesso with the rim of a lid for a little more texture and interest. The flowers are a mix from my stash, along with the lace, pearls, and purple crochet doily.
Thank you again for your time! Hope you have a Blessed Sunday!
