Dare to be Yourself


This is a single layout created for Penelope Dee using the beautiful "Be You" collection.

For this layout I used a photograph taken with a Snapchat filter.  Very dramatic!  

I love the colours of this range - different shades of reds and pinks - 
and wanted to bring purple in as a complimentary colour.

I covered my page with clear gesso and then stamped randomly 
onto the page using a copper ink.


I used the doily stencil, which goes with this collection, together with 
Prima Marketing Finnabair Paper Texture Paste and applied it thickly 
to give lots of texture.


Once the paste was dry, I added some sprays and inks, adding water so that it "moves" 
through the paste.  I added one colour at a time and dried with a heat gun 
inbetween each colour.

The bee was heat embossed with some copper ink.


The title was painted with different shades of Prima Marketing Finnabair rust pastes.


Some cut out hexagons and splashes of ink and the layout was complete.


I hope you like it.
Until next time!
