Silhouette

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

Hope you're all like what I've made, thanks for stopping by. Hugs, Merry.

  8. Amazing 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!!
