Be Brave-Be the best version of yourself

Howdy Bloggers , Lisa Here with a Friday Mixed Media update .

Its been a crazy few weeks of family commitments and heart connections.

Today I'm sharing a layout that I started a couple of weeks ago but only finished up yesterday.

Sometimes just having completed a background prior can allow you so much more flow,

to bust in and get that baby done swiftly.

----------------------------

So my eldest child has just had some new professional shots taken,

(she's a professional wrestler-if you didn't know already)

and I really couldn't wait to get my hands on them and scrap them,

She's such a wonderful kid,she actually printed them for me -yay.

Knowing the colours she was in , and celebrating my love of her passion,

Dylusions Bubblegum Pink acrylic paint provided a perfect vibrant base for my vibrant girls photo.

I laid a Heidi Swapp word "wish" stencil onto the wet painted  Marshmallow cardstock page

 and used a baby wipe to rub back some paint,to reveal the words

 and then I smeared some Colourblast "Lipstick"Texture paste through the stencil. 

while it was wet I embossed the lettering with some

 Stampendeous Chunky Black Embossing Enamel powder.. Swoon at the effect .

Once the background is complete a little cosmetic fun takes place,

I didn't used any background stamps on this one as I usually would ,

 but I added an extra element by rough doodling and

 writing a few sentimental words with my Fude Balll pen,

 to add interest point and tell the story .

Layering of tissue paper, chippy, muslin, and whatever else I have laying on the table ,

 adds texture and colour behind the black matt photo

*note to self --wipe layout/photos free of dust before taking DT blog photos.

A few epoxy stars,a  water colour sticker from Vicki Boutin,

a couple Me and My big Idea chippy pieces, a gold flourish from Jollygirl, 

various lettering and this layout was finished .

Love the vibrancy of the page and the subject .

 Thanks for dropping by,

 Ill be back next week with another vibrant colourful mixed media update .
