Pure Happiness
By Charmane Sharp

 



My girls bring me Pure Happiness every day. I am so lucky to be loved by
them. On this day they enjoyed running around the park together. This layout
was created with Beneath the Brambles by Lou Collins for Arden Studios.




2Crafty Chipboard used...

Floral Stem Silhouette set
Frame Oval Ornate
11' Round Flourish Frame
Title- Pure Happiness




I chose to use the Floral Stem Silhouettes as I knew they would look lovely
 with a pop of Purple colour. I painted the centre of the flower with Distress Paint
 Wilted Violet and then added Shaded Lilac to the petals.I mixed some Picket
 Fence with Shaded Lilac for a lighter edge on the petals. The Stems were painted
with Mowed Lawn with a little dot of black mixed in so as not too bright.




A little hard to photograph the Shimmer on the Ornate Oval Frame.
In real life it looks stunning as I painted it with Distress Bundled Sage
and then sprayed it with a Shimmer Spritz. The result is beautiful.




Such an accurate title for this layout. Pure Happiness was painted with
Finnabair Iris Potion Sparks paint. 




Framing my layout with the 11' Round Flourish Frame draws the eye
into the creativity and adds a touch of glamour with its embossed finish.
I sprayed the Shimmer Spray over the Gesso and then added Clear 
Embossing Powder with a sprinkling of fine Gold Powder. This gave a
unique look which didn't overtake the layout but adds lovely detail.




A Scrapbook Collection can have diets and beautiful papers, but adding chipboard
 to it just seems to elevate each layout. Don't you agree? Especially with the
 enormous amount to choose from with 2Crafty Chipboard.

Until next time...
