August Kit - Encore - Best Friends - Time with You!

Hello Paper friends!

Thank you for letting me share with you another today post!

For this layout I used our very own wonderful Flying Unicorn - Your Passion Your Art August Kit!

There was so much in the kit this month and it gives us so many options to work with.

I actually wanted to use the sheet with all the details as the back ground but since I used all the fuzzy cut pieces on several projects I went and looked through all my papers and found a similar page to substitute. Since it only showed a small edge, problem solved.

I made the edges wet of the pink page to make it easier to distress the edges.

A friend of mine had gone to one of the latest Tim Holtz classes and came back with one of his newest stencils not for sale in the shops. She gave it to me, so I feel very lucky!

I used it on this layout with a combination of Gesso and Modeling paste. Once dry I used 2 different prima stamps to bring in some more back ground details.

Now that the background is done it's time to start with the layers. I cut some pieces from the Lemoncraft - Just Love Me - 04 sheet and I had a piece left over from a Studio 75 sheet. Using the strips that were cut off the striped paper as part of the layering as well. Sliding in a doily and the new Snipart Chipboard pieces. The color scheme fits perfectly with the Prima - Garden Fable chipboard pieces, so I added some of those to my layout too.

The flowers in the kit this month are a perfect match to all the colors in the paper. I love making these arrangements. It's the complete package. Love the little flowers.
