Lazy Days


                     Lazy Days (Creative Embellishment's DT)

          Greetings everyone Kathleen here with a layout I hope will make you yearn for summer! 


 This photo of my son when he was a mere tot was taken out in the country which inspired the layout design.  In the store I found this awesome Chicken Wire 6"x6" panel.  I cut out two pieces and gave each of them different treatments.  The upper piece was sprayed with heidi swapp color shine in mustard then lightly and randomly touched with Ingvild Bolme coldsfoot petal.  The bottom piece was first lightly gessoed then inked yellow followed by the spray.  I wanted the layout to have the illusion of sunshine and shade.  The Flourish Dragonfly was rubbed with Art Anthology
 guava stain which would pick up the color of my son's hair.  The frame was left in it's natural state.  The word fun was lightly sprayed with with mustard color shine.  Now the pipes and faucet were first given a light coat of gesso then painted with Shimmerz Barely Blue Dazzelerz. 




 I had a lot of fun playing with stencils, paints, bling and things on this layout.  One thing I did learn in creating this layout is to choose a thicker paper for the mixed media other wise you have strong waves rolling along those areas.  I see them as heat waves here.  lol!!  Here are a few close ups.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you have been inspired.  Check out our monthly challenge there are a few days left to get your entry in.  The store is constantly updating and adding to their inventory.  Stop by and check it out!
