'Dreamer'

I'm baaaa-aaack! Hello my crafty friends, it's been a few rough, stress-filled several weeks lately, lots of different issues one of them being my Mac died a sudden death leaving me internet-less :(

But I treated myself to a brand new computer and I'm here this morning to share my first 

layout created with the beautiful June kit from Scraps of Elegance called 

'Sunshine and Sweet Tea'.

'Dreamer'

Starting as I always do by just staring at my kit papers, this time the BoBunny 'Butterfly Kisses' collection, I noticed some light butterflies up the right hand side of the paper 'Bliss'. I grabbed a black watercolor pencil and traced them all out, then went back over them with a small wet paintbrush and it really brought them to life! From there I added lots of black stamping and built up some layers using lots of goodies from the kit.

I used the following items from the main kit, the elements add on and flower add on:

BoBunny - Butterfly Kisses Paper Collection

BoBunny - Butterfly Kisses chipboards

BoBunny - Butterfly Kisses buttons

Blue Fern Studios - Attic Charm Daisies flowers

American Crafts - Mini Butterfly punch

Prima - Salvage District Cling stamps

Dovecraft - Paper Doilies

Petaloo - Coral Botanica Anemone flowers

Here is the June kit:

I would like to enter my layout into a challenge called 'Tender Angel'

that I found on a blog called 'Scrap 72' using this super pretty color palette.

More info on the challenge here.

Here are a few close ups:

I used one the pink doilies from the kit and painted it messily with a black paint dauber

to get it looking really distressed, and also fussy cut some flowers and

butterflies from the different papers.

Thanks for looking and see you soon, 

as always I really appreciate your views and your comments, 

hugs, Lisa xox
