I started by misting the background over a Heidi Swapp butterfly mask. I used two colors: gold and pink. It adds a softness that I really like.
Materials:
My Little Shoebox papers and transparencies, beads, Sakura pens, Sharpie pen; 7 gypsies paint, my own mists, Tattered Angels gold mist, Heidi Swapp mask, Maya Road lace; Bazzil cardstock, masking tape, sewing, text pages, coffee filter, colored pencil
I wrote my journaling on a misted coffee filter. It was initially supposed to be part of a big flower, but that project bombed and now I have various sizes of coffee filters lying around. I was surprised that my pen didn't run and ruin it, but it didn't! Yeah!
My title was just done by hand using Sakura pens and a Sharpie pen. I added some shadow with a grey pencil.
I'm having a really fun day today. I just received my November/December MLS package including some Shimmerz and ClearScraps products. Yeah! I think I might like the Sky's the Limit line even better than In Bloom (my favorite so far). I'm not sure, but it is pretty darn cool with all the clouds. I think I have a cloud thing going on. Ohh, what if I combined the flowers and the clouds? It might just be a slice of heaven...
Before, I was interrupted by UPS, I was working on a few large (11x14 illustration board) backgrounds. I'm basically just slapping on paint, stamps and whatever else I can grab. So far, so good. I'm excited to see where these backgrounds take me. I've never worked on such a large surface so I'm swimming in uncharted territory. I'll keep you posted.
As if that isn't enough for one day, I found out this morning that my Gum mini album made the catwalk on SIStv. Exciting!
Only one bummer, I am down to only 1 sheet of white 12x12 cardstock. It may be an emergency. I suppose I'll have to make a trip to my LSS to stock up again. Darn. (giggle)
Happy Creating!

Wow! I really love this one! The bright colors of the flowers match the soft colors of the background. And the way you made the title is great! No need to buy expensive alphabeths, these handmade are much better!

Your layout is lovely. I LOVE the subtle blended background that keeps your main focus on the foreground, (is that a word? :) ).
Thanks for visiting my blog, also.
Love this! The title is fabulous, as is that really cool flower.
