Towards the Sun

I have another new layout to share today! This layout started with this sketch from Paper Issues:

The sketch made me think of feathers, which made me think of these dance photos of my daughter. I started by cutting a bunch of feathers with my Cricut from glitter cardstock and glimmer cardstock. I then worked on some mixed media for my background. I used some Distress products and did the smooshing technique with some packaging. Once that was dry, I splattered some Glimmer Mists on the page. I then went to work attaching the feathers. I tucked both photos behind some of the feathers. I then cut a bunch of flowers using my Cricut. I edged all of the flowers with brown ink and curled them up a bit for dimension. I found a tag that coordinated with my colors. I also took a feather stamp and layered that in with the paper feathers. I put my Cricut to work again for the title, using rose gold cardstock. I have the sun mask from a kit and decided to use it here, adding the face on the top part of the layout and the rays around the word "Sun" on the bottom of the page. I embellished the flowers with a combination of enamel dots, gems, and Nuvo Drops. 

 I had a lot of fun playing with different techniques on this layout, thanks for stopping by to check it out!
