Layout "Make a Wish" - DT project for ARTastic

Hello everybody, nice to have you here!

Today I want to share my layout for the November Challenge over at ARTastic challenge blog with you.

This month the inspiration comes from  Poncho Army  and is called Landing. The CRITERIA is: Use a BLACK background.

I was inspired by the bold colors of the bird and used the blue of him on the background and, fitting to my photo, pink.

Here are some steps:

First I brayered acrylic paints in blue tones and pink tones on the background. Then I did some stamping and heat embossed them with EP in white, pink and blue-green (not very much visible, but it gives a wonderful shimmer =) ). Then I stamped some more patterns with Distress Oxides and Archival ink in blue (again hard to see ;-) )

Now I layered my photo with cardstock in blue and pink and distressed pieces of gauze. To make them more matching I colored them with some pink mist.

Next I heat embossed some chipboard pieces with pink and cranberry embossing powder. 

Then I put everything together, added a stamped sentiment and some flowers - and that´s it!

Now I hope you will join in with our challenge this month!

Thank you for your visit!
