'amour' a new layout for Kiev Skrapklub

Hello girls...Happy friday! Soooo glad we are coming up on Memorial Day weekend! 

I hope everyone has a wonderful, relaxing day with hopefully some creative time squeezed in there.

I was invited by the girls over at Kiev Skrapklub to Guest Design this month using one of their beautiful sketches and this is what I came up with....

'amour'

I started with some of the 'Timeless Memories' Prima paper for my base and added torn strips of various papers in the background, then using a Tim Holtz swirl mask spread some gesso around the page. While the gesso is still wet, I added some Prima glass beads. Then I added some layers of chipboard, a bit of lace and some flowers.

Here is the new sketch...

My creativity has been coming in fits and starts these past few weeks....trying out some new things, not being happy with the results...does that ever happen to any of you?

That's why I am so in love with sketches and challenges...they sort of guide me through all the millions of ideas in my head and help me focus :)

Here are a few close ups...

I love this Prima paper collection! Beautiful subtle patterns in the background...

I played off of the very light blues and toffee colors in the paper with some 13 arts inks.

Thank you so much for every visit and comment...

sometimes your kind words help me get through when I feel 'stuck'...

And also a big shoutout to all my new blog readers...welcome!!! 

One of the best parts of creating art is sharing it :)

Hugs, Lisa xo
