Spread Your Wings for Berry71Bleu

Good morning! Today I'm sharing the page that I created for Berry71Bleu as one of their guest designers this month. This month's challenge is to create a project with the theme "Things with wings" and this is my take on it.
For my page I've used papers from Blue Fern "Sanctuary"and Bo Bunny "Rose Cafe", mixing in a brown bag and some pieces of ephemera I had on hand. I created a process video That you can view at the end of this post.
And I have a process video that you can see here:

Well that's it for me today. If you a chance there's still a couple days left to join in the challenge. Thanks so much for stopping in! Hope you have a creative day!

Make A Wish

Good morning and happy Monday! It's reveal time once again at Let's Get Sketchy and I have my inspiration page to share with you.
I decided to flip the sketch to work better with the photo. I chose an older collection of papers from BoBunny. I love the soft colors and I didn't have to worry about them competing with my black and white photo. To start, I distressed and tore the edges of my second layer, adhering it to my flowered background paper.  Then added some stamping and additional texture by using a Prima flourish stencil with texture paste to mimic the flourishes that were already in random spots of the pattern on the paper. After distressing all the layers that are my design, I mounted them on thin pieces of cardboard for dimension and so I could tuck in my embellishments easily.
And here's our fab sketch this week.
