BLOG CANDY AND LAYOUT TO SHARE!!!

Hi everyone!! Just stopping by to share a layout I created for the Once upon A Sketch April challenge, but before I get started how about some blog candy?? Originally I was only going to do a little giveaway, but it didn't look like much so I just kept adding to it until it looked right. Next thing I know I have this huge prize to give away, over 250 Australian dollars worth of amazing scrapbooking supplies!!  I will draw a winner using random.org in a few weeks time. To be eligible for this amazing prize you must be a follower of my blog (The 'join this site' button is broken, to become a member just click the little twin squares right next to it. It is a button for the same thing. This is also written in the sidebar right above it) and leave a comment here on this post to let me know you would like to win!! This is open to everyone no matter where you are in the world and includes postage of the prize to you. Best of luck to each and everyone of you!!

 The prize (Sorry, I know it's not the best photo, and that some things have slid behind others making them hard to see):


Here is this months sketch at OUAS:

 

And here is my interpretation:

'I Adore Your Smile'


 As you can see I have chosen to use the 2 photo's this time, something I rarely do, even when following a sketch. 
The background was created following my usual routine, gesso, texture paste, watercolors, stamping and my fave Prima stencil. I have trimmed 1cm from all around the edge and pasted it onto another sheet of white card stock. I love the subtle effect the white on white gives. I have also doodled a border using a black marker.

Some details:


Some of my gorgeous new Prima flowers, all from various collections!! They all work so well together!!


For my title i have used some AdornIt Carolee's Creation alpha stickers, along with the chipboard word 'adore' which has been covered with a coat of black acrylic paint.


The chipboard arrow on the right was given the same treatment as the title, whilst the barbed wire running beneath the photo was painted white with gesso.


The chipboard frames beneath the photo I made myself. I made the polaroid frame first, cutting it from a sheet of chipboard, and covering it with chunky gold glitter. The other two frames were cut from the same sheet, then embossed with white UTEE, followed by a fine gold embossing powder. As I was melting the gold, it bubbled and ran leaving the pattern you now see on the frames.


As always my layouts have lots of layers and dimension. I love these metal keyholes from Prima, they are the perfect finishing touch for any page!!


As you can see I have written my journaling directly onto the page. 
The peg has also been covered with chunky gold glitter to match the frame behind the photo.


That's all I have to share with you today.... Jet has just finished his lunch and I need to go and clean up the mess he is certain to have made!! Don't forget, to be eligible to win this fab prize you must be a follower of my blog, and leave me a comment here on this post. Best of luck to all of you! 
Thanks for stopping by. I will stop by again later in the week with more to share!! Have a great weekend!!
