A {New} Layout and a Sketch

Today I wanted to share a layout of one of my girls. This was her graduation day, and as you can imagine, she was excited. I used the July Blue Fern Studios sketch as well as the new Blue Fern Studios paper line called Ombre Dreams. Here is my 8 1/2 x 11 layout:

The chipboard stars are new from Blue Fern  Studios, and they are called "Seeing Stars." I painted the stars with gesso and let them dry. Once dry, I painted with three LuminArte paint colors—cool water, navajo pearl, and lime squeeze. I then let that dry, and lastly I stamped the stars with the Unity "Give it all Meaning" stamp.
