Sisters...Prima BAP

When I saw the March BAP at Prima I said.."Hmmm" I have to try it.  And after thinking for several hours...(lol)... this was my inspiration. I worked with two of my favorites Delight and Divine collections by Prima.  In the photo my sister Karen and me a few years ago, now that I'm living here, oh gosh how much I miss her and the girls.

I made the same sketch's design but at my style, draping some areas, giving textures with a Prima stencil and molding paste and painting.

I also added some Prima lace and this metal clock.

Chipboard, wood buttons and stamp by Prima.

Babydoll


Hello everyone!!  Today I'm sharing this page that I made with the Vintage Summer Basics Collection by Maja Design.
She's my dear daughter Paola when she was 8 old month how times flies...   I'm also playing at Scrap Africa in their Stars and Stitching challenge.
I put some stars rub-on on my page, some stamp and added some textures with molding paste, gesso and acrylic paints.

Love these star pins that the colors goes perfect with the background paper and I sew the paper corners in my sewing machine.

March-My Creative Sketch and a step by step Tutorial....

Hi!! I'm showing today my last page created with the gorgeous March Limited Edition kit by My Creative Scrapbook.  I made this page inspired in the new sketch for March at My Creative Sketches designed by Liz Chidester.

March Sketch


The Randow Draw Prize...



I made a step by step tutorial about how I made my page and used the stamp that comes in the kit.
Let's get started...

I selected these materials from the LE kit and the sketch to start working my page.

I stamped several times in an ivory cardstock with the Prima stamp from the kit.


Cut all the stamped frames with a craft knife.



With a mask and homemade molding paste I created a deign similar to the sketch.



You can see here the design and the textures...


I made some fussy cutting from this paper (leaves)



I also cut two birds from this paper...



I glued  two of the frames on my photos.



I placed the photos and frames using the March sketch like inspiration.


I glued all the frames and photos and started to decorate around them with the leaves and the  Prima flowers from the kit.  


To soften the color I applied a lite coat of gesso to all the Prima  flowers.


Then with a paintbrush and a distress ink I applied color around the frames and photos.

And I gave the final details with the chipboard, brads and embellishments from the LE kit...




 I hope this inspire you.... to reserve a kit go HERE

I made layers with the die cuts, papers and some frames that I made using the Prima stamp that comes in the kit.

Love this doily stickers from Prima, it also comes in the LE kit.


I cut the leaves from one of the papers.

The tittle is one of the chipboard pieces from the kit.
