Adorable

Good morning! It's time for the second reveal at Picture This! This time the criteria is:
3 photos + black&white + lace
Here's what I came up with using the recipe.
I used Prima's Anna Marie papers and some of the flowers for this page, as well as some flowers, lace, ribbon, wooden spools, and thread from my stash. The dressform chippie, Dina Wakley gesso, and silver microbeads can be found at Reneabouquets etsy shop.
I started by trimming the pink layer and giving it a decorative edge with a couple of border punches, slightly angling the bottom edge. Then I added some stamping to the background around where my layers were going. I applied some gesso using a sponge randomly on the background, then added some splatters of gesso that I thinned down. Next I added my distressed layers, which I mounted on thin cardboard. I then distressed and layered my photos, mounting the top photo on another piece of thin cardboard and adhered them to the layered mat. Then I was ready to add my embellishment clusters and gave everything a dab of gesso. As a finishing touch I gave the page a few black splatters.
Thanks so much for popping in! For even more inspiration check out all the beautiful projects from the rest of the DT here. Hope you get a chance to join us! Have an awesome day!

Kisses

Good morning and happy Monday everyone! It's reveal time once again at Let's Get Sketchy and I have my inspiration page to share with you.
I used papers from KaiserCraft's Key To My Heart collection for this page. I started by creating a border by trimming the paper and giving it a decorative edge with a border punch. Then on the background I added some interest by stamping with a few different stamps and some mix'd media ink. I added texture using a CW stencil and texture paste, then a few sprays of Shimmerz RazzelDazzel Berry and Tattered Angels' Bubble gum to subtly blend it all in. Finishing the background with some black splatters. Next I distressed all the layers that would be my photo mat, adhering them together, and mounting them on a piece of thin cardboard for added dimension. Once it was adhered to my page I simply added my embellies and there you have it =)
Here are a few closies of the details.
 
And here's our fabulous sketch for you this week designed by Jenessa.
