Be Epic- Celebrating One Strong Young Woman

Howdy Folks , Lisa here with a weekly mixed media blog update .

And lookie here,I have actually scrapbooked a layout to share .

Celebrating this amazing young woman,

in the week of International Day of Woman ,

I'm going to share with you a layout created to celebrate my eldest child,

A woman heading in the direction of her dreams.

Someone who inspires me daily with her drive and 

willpower to focus and take control of her life .

I grabbed some marshmallow bazzil cardstock and with a few pieces of chipboard , I adhered them to the cardstock with some xpress it glue , then allowed it to dry securely.

Then , using Liquitex gesso and a tiny amount of  Dina Wakley Sky Blue acrylic paint ,

 I painted the page fully and then highlighted around the page with Prima Acrylic...

Finns'Art Alchemy Aqua Magic Blue Gold. which I have to say is a new fav for sure ,

I really need to get some more colours to play with ..omg..love those duel colours.

Then , its all about the layering , some staz on ink background stamping (having a re-love affair with butterflies),novel paper,washi tape,tissue paper,die cut circles ,a little doodling with a fude ball pen and some highlighting of the chipboard with a black stabilo pencil and waterbrush.. finishing with a few me and my big ideas chipboard pieces .

I finished this piece by matting my photo with black cardstock 

and adding a few pre-made cardstock butterflies,a border around the page with the fude ball , strip journaling to boost the title and a little extra motherly heart words.

which sit behind the photo and flip to be revealed .

Thanks for dropping by , see you next week..

I'm lucky enough to being treated to a special weekend and 

off to view some galleries and museums
