Bella Linda (Featured at "Get Creative")

Created this page for Get Creative using their pretty sketch.  Check out their site to see what the other members have created at http://craftycroppersgr.blogspot.com/: One of my favorite color combinations is green and purple, and since I had a few pieces of the winter collection from Creative Imaginations left over, I set out to create a page for Bella Linda.  Here’s Linda at nine months pregnant with her first son.  She’s a beauty here and I hope to procure more photos from her so that I can create more pretty pages.

The white space on the sketch inspired me to create my own background using the 6 x 6 chicken wire stencil from The Crafters Workshop, light molding paste, two colors of mist and a small Prima Stamp.  To get the smooth edges to stamp on the light molding paste, you have to make certain you run your tool across the stencil on top of the molding paste so that you don’t get any hard edges.  It makes the stamping process so much easier. Also, when you apply the molding paste on to the stencil don't fill in all the spaces; it will allow the mists to fill in some of the smaller spaces within the stencil and adds a little texture also.

The Dusty Attic corner flourish was painted white, then embosses with green and gold embossing powders, and a touch of glitter.

Thanks for stopping by.
