Farm Help by Suzanne Franin

Hey Everyone

Here's my latest project for Colour Blast Australia 

Make sure you check out the latest products from the store

And make sure to check out the rest of the Blog as there is always lots of inspiration from the fabulous Design Team there

I got these photos of my gorgeous God Daughter from her day at school where they dressed in farm type clothes to support the farmers and donated money towards it as well

She's not shy when having her photo taken if you can't tell 

I started by spreading Heavy White Gesso over the Spread Your Wings - Earth Angels paper to mute the black a little and for the  Lush Colour Shimmer Dust to stay on top of the paper and not soak through (that's what happens if you don't prime your papers)

I sprayed water onto the paper then dipped a brush into the Shimmer Dust, then lightly tapped the brush randomly over the page

Then with the spatula I spread the water and dust so it would mix and leave different shades over the paper

Here you can see I used different pieces of the Spread your Wings Collection and added the Lush Shimmer Dust to those as well

I had excess on the page so I swiped them onto it so they all got a bit of colour

I had planned on using these flowers on something else and had used the Soot Colour Artist Ink on them but had added extra water to tone them down then in the end didn't use them 

So I added more Soot to them and placed them on the page

 

I added some straw to give the farm feel and add some texture

And of course every layout needs some metal 

I also added some word stickers that I thought where just right for the photos and for Miss Sophie xx

Thank you for visiting I hope you come back soon x
