'Be brave'

'He who is brave, is free."

- Seneca

Happy monday to all my crafty girls, hope you are all well :)

While waiting on my April kit from Scraps of Darkness, I created one

more layout with our last kit 'Garden Gala'.

'Be brave'

This is my fourth project with this kit, and there's still so much left to play with! This Blue Fern Studios paper and the Prima ephemera pack went so well together. I have a box of photos that I keep for my layouts and this one looked like it was from a fairytale unfolding in a garden...

I would like to enter my layout in a challenge I found on a Russian blog (surprise! :)
 called Studio Leto for Sketch No. 1:

More details on this challenge here.

I created a simple background with some clear gesso over the whole page, 

added some heavy gesso through a stencil, and then built up a lot of layers with 

pieces from the ephemera pack, and lots of flowers.

I used from the kit:

Blue Fern Studios paper 'Fascination'

Blue Fern Studios stamp

Prima Ephemera pack 'Melange'

Petaloo flowers

I also added some beautiful ornate 2 Crafty Chipboard that I embossed, to add a medieval look.

Then I used some watercolors to add some earthy colors.

See you soon :)
