:: Layout for some amazing challenges ::

I attend following challenges with this layout:

13arts challeneg 44 - Dare to be daring. You find the fun challenge here!
I have had a bit of a slow period when it comes to create layouts. So at the moment it feels like I need to collect all my courage to even dare to make a layout! Maybe this challenge was a bit of a kick in the but to make them again! You find information about all the products from 13arts I used for my layout under the photos. 

More than words July - The word Smile combine with a sketch. You find the challenge  here!
I used this stunning sketch to find my mojo again. You find the word SMILE in my title and the photos of my son makes me smile also!

Here are my layout! I really like it! For my background I used papers from 13arts. I used a collection called Mental vacation and the papers are Forever Skies and Life´s a beach. I made a lot of squares and added to my background paper.

 I used flowers from Prima. They are Corine Flowers and Roses from Salvage District collection and French Riviera collection.

 Around my squares I used Pit Pens from Faber Castell. Then I added tons of textures like glitter and glass beads from 13arts. My sentiment piece I painted with black Gesso from 13arts and water. I added water to make the Gesso thin so I could see the letters throw the Gesso.

 Here is a close up on some of the textures. You can find black Natural Mika flakes, blue hexagon hologram glitter, Micro glass beads all from 13 arts. When I add all of it I used 13arts Acrylic Gel Medium. I really like it!

 I also added Mist from 13arts called Chalk Turquoise.

 The cute embellishment is from Prima and called Crochet Icons.

  In my stash I found some really old chipboards from Tattered Angels. I gave them a coat of black paint from 13arts.
