'Strand, London'

Good morning my crafty ladies, I have another layout to share made

with the beautiful May Scraps of Elegance kit 'Mix'd Media'.

'Strand, London'

 Even though this kit is actually called 'Mix'd Media', I wanted to try  a different look for this layout,

one not so weighted down by mediums, but free of them. All I added was a bit of 

watercolor on the background, and then created a lot of layers with the Blue Fern

Studios 'Happy Accident' papers and some vintage ephemera. 

These papers are so beautiful with so much going on, that I wanted to let the paper itself

 really shine. I also used the Blue Fern Studios chipboard pieces from the same collection and some

of the Tim Holtz ephemera from the Elements Add On.

Here are a few close ups:

I used to design for Blue Fern Studios and I've been raiding my stash lately

whenever I get the chance to design with their paper collections. Here I added

some of my all time favourite chipboard pieces called 'Marakkesh Panel'

that I first covered in gesso and then colored using the same watercolors

that are in my background.

 I am totally addicted to the vintage stuff I find at estate sales, and last weekend I went 

to a great one where I found some old pillowcases with beautiful cotton lace.

Here I ripped off the eyelet trim and added it down my page, love how it looks.

Thanks for the visit!

Hugs, Lisa xox
