Renaissance Festival

Hello, thank you for stopping by! I have a new layout to share! This is for my oldest daughter's scrapbook and chronicles our trip to the Renaissance Festival several years ago. I was first inspired by the Get Messy challenge at Paper Issues, so I made some scattered polka dots with gelatos and a circle mask. I scribbled the gelato through the mask, misted it with water and then blended it with my finger. I then added my papers and photos. I fussy cut the butterflies from some patterned paper for The Studio challenge.. I curled those up a bit for some dimension. For the title, I found a banner chipboard piece and coated it twice with Picket Fence Distress Stain. I cut the letters using my Cricut. I decided once they were attached that they needed a little something to make them stand out, so I outlined them with blue sharpie and then added a border to my banner with the same marker. The embossed chipboard butterflies were coated with white gesso and then lightly pressed into Distress Ink. I finished things off with some stickers and sequins.
