Skeleton Leaves...

I created this page for a special lady I know who teaches scrapbooking.  Every year we go on a scrapbook weekend in North Yorkshire and we were tasked this time to create a challenge for each other.  As both of us are big fans of multi media pages and all thing messy I came up with a scrap by numbers page.   

 I found some skeletonised leaves on a walk and thought it would be great to incorporate these into a page.  I've used gesso and then added colour with inktense crayons and watercolour pencils.

 I've added scraps of torn book paper too.

 and some stitching,

 and some doodled circles and backgound stamping

To infinity & beyond...

I was inspired to create this page by the colours in the photo of my little lad on World Book Day last year.  I'd also seen a layout done by, I think Kim Stewart (nerolisyke), where she had used all her left over alphabet thickers to create a background, so though I would give it a go.

I started with a piece of white card stock and started to stick by alpha thickers onto it.  I then brushed on some white gesso to act as a key for the colour. 

I used inktense blocks to apply bands of colour and merged the colours together with water.  I also added some cosmic shimmer spray inks through a stencil.

I kept the embellishments fairly simple by adding a row of buttons, ribbon and twine just down one side of the photo.  I cut the title on my cricut and then embossed each letter and sanded it.

Back later in the week, thanks for stopping by.
