. . . . last weekend was a blast!  I actually found time to scrap and I even created a layout!  I had so much fun meeting new friends and blog hopping. It was a long overdue creative weekend and I can’t wait to get downstairs to my studio and do it again!

Here is a layout I did for the Big Picture’s Creative Crop Challenge #2 where you had to use 10 techniques and 10 different products.

The background I created from a piece of cardstock using stamps, Glitter Mod Podge, tissue paper, Glimmer Mist, Paint and white wash to soften the look. I also used some swirls and chipboard flourishes with some handmade flowers I made. The chipboard letters are from K & Company.

Here are a few close-ups:

Love these flourishes and the three little pearls above the folded ribbon.

I added some pearls in white to the center of my flower and a few pink rhinestones o the chipboard flourish too.

Here is a close-up of the background. I’ll be doing this technique again soon. It was so much fun and surprisingly easy to do.

Thanks so much!
