A laugh is a smile that bursts - title

Global Pandemic

Fine word set - Months

Mini hot air balloon

along with these chipboard pieces, the papers I have used are

 Studio 73- Destination Unknown & Clockwork Christmas....

Let's start with the title, which is just perfect for the photo...

A laugh is a smile that bursts I have inked this with a blue,

 Then I had this one Mini hot air balloon left in my stash & decided to add it as well,

 so gave it a light coat of gesso then added another coat of gesso to the edges....

Next up & something a bit different is these 

 discease symbol (spiky balls) from the Covid 19 & Global Pandemic 

and I thought they would would great as splatters and I have just simply gave the a thick coat of gesso...

I think they look GREAT! 

And lastly I have added the month & yr- 2015 

Inking the month -  March with a brown & 2015 has been given 2 coats of gesso..

Thanks for stopping by, 

I hope you have been inpsired in someway

Until next time

 

"This Is The New Normal By Sabrina Turpin

Hello 2Crafty fans!

Summer season is well underway here in Quebec but it's a very strange one this year.
 2020 is unlike anything we ever seen or experienced in our lifetime.
 One little virus made it so we can't fully be ourselves, we can't do all the things we 

like to do, hug the people we love to hug.
 But all in all, we're glad that our family is together and we haven't lost any loved ones.
We're rediscovering joy in the little things of life. 

"This is the New Normal"

On the "Lace Doily Frame", I used my finger to apply a teal wax. 

Then, on top of it, I applied watercolour navy paint.

On the "Addy's Butterflies", I applied a navy wax and a white pearl embossing powder on top of it.

 On the "6x4 Phrase Sticks Set 1", I applied 2 coats of teal embossing powder. 

For the "Maggie's Swirl", I used pink-gold shimmering paint and added a pink embossing ink on top.

For the title, "This is the new normal", I used a midnight-gold embossing ink.

I used the following 2Crafty chipboards in this layout:
