precious treasure ~SOUS sketch~

Helloooo! Its reveal Friday at Stuck on U Sketches! YAY!!!!!! My favorite Friday! We have another lovely sketch by Sandi Clarkson to share with you and we each have our own interpretation of it! Today I would like to share mine with you! My 2 great nieces, Cassidy and Lucia, are the feature of my layout this week.  You see, they share a birthday with in a short period of time, and Mom did a photo shoot with them in the bathtub full of bubbles! How darling!

I used the Bo Bunny paper collection "Isabella", and they worked perfectly as the photos were already black and white.I haphazardly punched around three sides of the background paper with a MS punch. Doing it this way gives it a distressed ragged look.  I also took my Prima distress tool and with the side that has the rasp I distressed the paper to the point of breaking thru and making holes. I also used some Dusty Attic words and a large Dusty Attic swirly Flourish!

 Here is the lovely sketch designed by our beautiful and talented Sandi Clarkson! Please check out her blog for her gorgeous work!

 A close up of the I am Roses flowers, and the Prima resin Fairy, and the new wooden Prima bird I painted white with gesso.  I also added touches of gesso to the flowers.

 here is a close up of the title, which I painted white with gesso.  I used a Prima chicken wire stencil with moulding paste in random areas of the background paper.

 in this close up you can see more how I treated the Dusty Attic flourish. I first painted it with gesso, adding layers at a time, making them thicker in areas and hitting it with my heat gun to get some bubbling. I then used a grey Shimmers and a Pink Glimmer mist and spritzed in various areas, drying with the heat gun.

 Just a few close ups of the photos at different angles so you can see more details of the layout.
