Swirlydoos 2nd Reveal "Brass Shilling"

Hello Friends! Just a quick post today to share my last two projects using the Swirlydoos June Kit, Brass Shilling. This was such a fun kit to work with because you could go pure elegance or total grunge!

 This is my sweet Clea. She just graduated 8th grade and won the school President's Education Award! We are extremely proud of our girl and know that she will do well in high school coming this fall!! When I scrapped her picture I want to give that sophisticated elegant feel.

 

 For my last project I made a card. I'm still working on my card skills. I think working with such a small space intimidates me a bit. The clock is Blue Fern Studios chipboard piece. I first treated it with gesso then dabbed chalkboard mist and silk paint

 

Thanks for taking the time.....

I love the pretty paper from Kasiercrafts! Especially the sheet with the foil butterflies!! Of course I had to fussy cut those babies out!

 So, with all the  grungy base coat papers in the kit, I wanted to make a masculine page. We recently went down to California, after a year and half, to visit family. For my son's 9th birthday my dad surprised Elijah with this truck. My dad is building it to give to him when he gets his drivers licences in six years....lol! My dad is almost 70, so it'll take that long to get it completed...hehee!! Elijah was totally excited and had me take TONS of pictures. Which I was more than happy to do :)

The kit came with a 12x12 cardboard. I stripped it and painted it with black gesso. When it was dry I smothered molding paste in some area for textures. Then, I sprayed with a bunch of different mist.

 

This is my page based on the June sketch. I don't do to well with negative space... I love stuff...lol!! So, I went with a few distressed layers for a fill in.

 

Here is the exclusive monthly sketch. Isn't it a cool one!!
