Here is the layout I created for the August Challenge over at Off the Rails Blog. What a stunning sketch and mood board! I loved the gorgeous colour scheme and the butterflies and music sheet paper. I took a photo recently of my youngest son learning to fly his kite on a lovely sunny winter's day - nothing but blue skies!! so I thought it would be perfect for this challenge. I embossed with black powder a variety of background stamps to make a collage and then used Lindy's Stamp Gang Magical's powders to create gorgeous shimmery watercolour background. The kite is a die cut but I used small glass beads to cover the inside and I used foam tape to give it a bit of depth. The butterflies were embossed, fussy cut and 3D to give a bit more depth and hessian and glittery foam frame for texture. The musical frame started as a mdf notebook frame which I sanded back, painted black, stuck music paper to, gesso'd and sanded back again to distress it.
All of my favourite colours are used in this layout!!
Here is the fantastic Sketch and Mood Board!
