I haven't done a scrapbook page in several weeks! My pictures are backing up!
The July sketch from Blue Fern Studio's was beckoning me!!
using a sturdy piece of designer paper so I could ink and spray with water was the first place I started. I tore pieces of cardstock to match my granddaughter's outfit for the layering pieces. Edged them with gesso to tone down the brightness. The pink flowers were made using a piece of leftover sprayed cardstock. The pink blended well with the pics. I also stenciled some little flowers before applying the blue distress ink -they show thru beautifully.The tree branch at the top was inspired by Gabriella. Mine is not as dainty as hers. I made mine with the twist paper that was popular years ago. Rubbed some brown distress ink on top.
The Blue Fern items I used is the Great Outdoors title, the bunny rabbit and the single white flower on a stem. All 3 were dabbed with Rangers white distress paint. Did 3 coats. Wanted them to stand out.
My masterpiece is now hanging in my Art Studio. I like to look at them when I finish before tucking them away in an album!

If you've never used their chipboard-you should! Very intricate designs. I have bought several sets and the quality is superb!
Happy Friday everyone!!
