Hi all...
hope you all have a great day. And for today quote of the day is,"You can't make everybody happy. You aren't a jar of Nutella." LOL...Well, this month its an honor to be one of Guest Designer from Pixels And Paper Challenge Blog. Here's they mood board for this month...
I chose to stick with the silhouette so here's my layout...
I started with white page... did a lot of gesso to it, and to all the chipboards and layers that I would use for my background. I applies flower stencil to my background and all the layers. Once they dried, I sprayed them all with Dylusions Ink Spray - Cherry Pie, Orange Squeeze and Lemon Zest. Once I'm happy with the colors, I stamped Finnabair Stamps - Vanity Vintage No.4 and Seamstress. When I knew I had enough stamping, I arranged everything, stapled them together and glued everything.
Once they were right where they should be, I started doing all the details colors using Cosmic Shimmers H2O - Scarlet Sunset, Orange Gold and Yellow Sun. I painted the ladies chipboard in black to match the mood board which I picked it as silhouette. Arranged my journaling in the middle of the page which said,"Nothing can dim the light that shines from within", and for the last touch I brushed dry the Viva Decor Inka Gold - Graphite to add more shadows on my background.
I would like to join the challenge that Scraps N Pieces made for this month challenge with the theme "Be Me" and here's their mood board and their sketch
and also Frosted Designs with friday challenge - Splatter

ReplyDeleteAmazing work Merry once again !! Your black silhouettes are very impressive and your background looks great with all the textures and layers ! I also have to admit that I've never heard of Maya Angelou before and I made a little research mostly because of her greek name, and it was a quite interesting persona !! So thank you for referring her name on your project and of course for your entry at Scraps n Pieces challenge blog!!
