I put aside some free time this week to play with my gelatos and foam stamps I got in the Archivers closing sale! It's been awhile since I've been working through the Art Classes by Wilna Furstenburg at 2Peas. I seriously LOVE the classes, I just haven't made the time to get messy and creative lately, so I made time. My sweet friend and designer, Juliana Kneipp made these awesome SVG files that I tested and I instantly was inspired to create and seriously LOVE this layout so much...
I also added a little brush script in there, inspired by the Life Scripted class at Studio Calico... I think a freebie might be coming soon to the blog with some more painty brush script, I've been inspired so much lately!!! I first started with some plain white American Crafts cardstock and then painted on the gelatos in assorted colors, blending them in, trying to match the colors of the kit I was using. I then spritzed the stamp a few times with water and stamped it on... I love the cool watercolor look it gives. I then filled in the centers of the flowers with more gelato and blended it in before the gelatos had dried.
I then practiced a little brush script before I went and added the "kiss" to the layout. I used Heidi Swapp Color Shine instead of the usual gouache and I totally love the shimmery watercolor look of it. I then printed out and cut the goodies I wanted to use for the layering behind the photo and grabbed some of my embellishments and went to town with the enamel dots and sequins... After it all dried I added the journaling and a few doodles and the date and I trimmed a bit off the edges of the 12x12 and added it to a 12x12 patterned paper from Pink Paislee... I can't tell you how much this made me want to scrap some more and got my happy back after being in a creative funk recently. I'm sooo very happy to be playing again!!!

I LOVE sharing my knowledge and writing tutorials so be on the lookout for some tutorials here on the blog... next on deck will be my workflow in Lightroom 5 for editing and printing photos for my pocket pages. I can't wait to share this with you all!!!
