Blessing

Good afternoon my scrappy friends, this morning I have my latest layout that I wanted to share...I used the sketch from Blue Fern Studios for their September challenge and also the criteria from the Frosted Designs newest challenge "add "Graffiti " To your project: Paint, Doodling, and/or handwriting."

here is what I came up with....

 I started with Tim Hotz paper and a couple pieces of scraps leftover from another project..added some old pages from a dictionary....I layered the strips of scraps then added the ripped pages of dictionary paper...added a bit of gesso....then tried to pick out some matching mists (lol I don't own many) .....added a bit of washi tape.....while I was waiting for the paint to dry I made a couple flowers to add to my layout...

I really loved the sketch this month but I didn't have a big circle piece of chipboard from  Blue Fern Studios so I made due with plain cardstock...I cut the design from my Silhouette portrait then painted it...I dug through my stash of Blue fern chippy pieces and pulled out a couple tags that would work with the design in my head (not that it always turns out as planned lol), I gesso and stamped both tags...one I stamped with a sentiment/title in the upper left corner and the other is behind the photo... I hand wrote a couple phrases around the photo and also doodled the arrows around the whole layout...

 added a bit of twine and voila my layout is complete ....

Thank you so much for taking the time to check out my latest project!
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
