Gorgeous by Suzy Loudon

 A big Hello to everyone. Today I'm sharing another layout I did of my daughter. I love this natural photo of her...always happy & bubbly & growing up fast.

I thought I'd play along with the November All About Flowers Challenge. There's still plenty of time to get your project in for a chance to win $30.00 worth of Colour Blast products.

Here's the link to the Colour Blast Creative Corner....

To begin my layout I grabbed a grey toned piece of paper. I decided I wanted the edges to be darker so I gave it a spray with Road Base Colour Spray.

I then smeared some Heavy White Gesso randomly across my page with my spatula.

Using Steel  Colour Paste I added some stenciling.

I mixed some Lemon Zing Colour Mica Powder with some Mod Podge/Gel Medium. I kept adding until I was happy with the intensity of the colour.

Using a paintbrush I painted my flowers.

I activated my Midnight Colour  Shimmer Dust with water.

Then using my paintbrush dabbing the colour onto my flowers.

I left my flowers to dry naturally. At this stage I left my page & came back to it a week or so later. When I did I found that one of my flowers that had a weird coating on it had dried very light (top right corner insert).

So I gave it a spray with some Road Base Colour Spray. 

I mixed some Lemon Zing Mica Powder with some of my homemade texture paste. Again I kept adding the Mica until I was happy with the colour.

I spread my Lemon Zing texture Paste and some Dusty Charcoal Colour Paste into my silicone mould and left to dry.

I left them to dry for a day before taking them out.

And I had my feathers for the November Challenge.

I got my watered down Heavy Black Gesso & splattered it around the page.

I then splattered with my watered down Heavy White Gesso.

I painted my chipboard title with Heavy White Gesso.

I didn't think it stood out enough so I embossed it with Snow White Embossing Powder.

Putting all my elements together & my page was done.

Just a little close up.

Thanks for taking the time to allow me to share with you.

See you next time.
