'Believe in Yourself'

Hello my crafty girls.....I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and get some crafty time 

to do what you love...we have a brand new kit from Scraps of Elegance called 

'Hello Beautiful' that I started playing with last night....

'Believe in Yourself'

This kit is chock full of Graphic 45 'Portrait of a Lady' collection...

papers, chipboards, stickers the whole shebang.

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 branches.

Here is the kit for March:

And don't forget to check out our blog here, for lots of ideas to make with our kits!

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.

I hope I have inspired you with my wild garden page :)

See you soon,

Lisa xo
