"Yummy" ~ My Creative Sketches - August Sketch Challenge

Well, Helloooo Strangers! I hope you all have been having an amazing summer! I have been absent from my blog and scrapping in general for a couple of months now, as I needed some "me" time and a chance to enjoy my summer for a change! And I have! Now its time to get back to the nitty gritty of life! My scrap room is in an upheaval of a mess with preparations of added storage and rearranging!

Today is reveal day for the August Sketch at My Creative Sketches! Boy, did I have fun with this one! I guess some time off did what it was supposed too! Lucia is featured here, I just adored this photo Lucia's dad took of her while they were out for ice cream! Can't you tell she loved it? 

I used some yummy Prima products and some other papers I had in my stash.

Here is the super fun sketch that Liz Chidester designed for My Creative Sketches. You can see so many possibilities with this one!

Here is a close up on the main flower cluster. I kept things pretty clean and simple, for me. No gesso this time. The large blue flower was actually white and I sprayed it with Glimmer Mist in Dragon Fly. The green from the leaves bled through a bit but I loved how it looked, so no mistake made here!

I just want to briefly tell you how I made this accent piece to follow along with the sketch. I took a complimentary piece of paper about 3 inches wide and 12 inches long and proceeded to score a line every 1/4 inches and the pleated the paper. I pinched it in about 3/4 of the way down and tied a lace bow around it and added the flower from I am Roses. I then glued it down with Zip Dry Glue. Pretty simple but really effective!

The letters I used for the title were now dark enough for me so I used alcohol ink to get it the darkness/intensity I was looking for. The letters were a smooth non-porous paper and this was the best option to get the color I wanted! I used a Prima stencil with some Light Molding Paste to get some yummy added texture and then splattered some Dragon Fly Glimmer Mist. I used a drinking straw to blow the mist around on the layout. 

 I used some I am Roses skeleton leaves in blue to add to this smaller flower cluster, and some cute buttons I found at my Local thrift store.
