Mixed Media Monday - 10.4.17

Hello friends, Lisa here to share with you my first layout

created with the March Scraps of Elegance kit called 'Hello Beautiful'.

'Believe in Yourself'

Green is not an easy color for me at all, but I saw the rich green of this paper and after choosing this pretty image from the paper 'Maria' I decided to go wild and crazy and create a little garden as a backdrop to this lovely girl, full of flowers and leaves. I fussy cut some roses out of one of the papers and tucked them in here and there,and I also used a die to cut out some leaves and branches.

Here is the kit for March:

Here are a few close ups:

I created a messy background by adding lots of heavy white gesso, 

some stamping and then using lots of inks to add some colors.

Then I layered on a few 2 Crafty chipboard pieces that I embossed in gold,  some pieces of the gold Prima trim and lots of flowers.

I also added one of the Prima metal charms that I glued on underneath an image cut out from one of the kit papers.

Here is my next layout

designed with the March kit, 'Hello Beautiful'.

'Portrait of a Lady'

I always order the Paper Add On each month as there are always some papers that compliment the main kit papers, and this month's add on included some pretty vintage papers by Scrapberry's.

Here are a few close ups:

This month's kit had some really pretty lavender flowers that I added here with some green twine, and some sisal to give the page a natural look.

I also used some super pretty Prima flowers from the Floral Add On, some of the gold Prima trim and white pearl beads from the kit, the Graphic 45 chipboards, and lots of gold beads and pearls from my stash.

 Thanks for looking,

Hugs, Lisa xo
