Hello Dusty FANattics and welcome to July mood board challenge, this is such a beautiful pretty board.

You could win one of two AUD $50 credits to the

Inspiration is bought to us today by

Jen Burns

This layout is of my beautiful little grand daughter on her FIRST Birthday. Her headband and tutu have the colours of the Mood Board in them so was perfect for this challenge.

I wanted to create a magical little scene as she looks like a little fairy herself. So I started with the new large Gnome, butterflie and Songbirds.

I have spray painted all of my chipboard pieces with white matt paint and let dry.

Then I have used watercolour paints to colour all of the pieces, when you have painted over the top you can use a damp brush to then lift paint off, like the white sections on the toadstools, wings on the songbirds and parts of the large gnome.

The 1st Birthday title I have left white and adhered it to the photo and added one of the songbirds at the top. The wings can be adhered straight or on an angle like I have to look like it is in use.

After making a cluster with the toadstools I have added botanical mix pieces, the cute little one that looks like love hearts is a fav of mine together with pink and mint flowers.

I have coloured the large gnome also with watercolours, at first I had used too much and he was quite bright. Just use a baby wipe to take the colour off you don't want then I added some white gesso to his hat to add some texture. The finishing touch was adding words from the word strip #2 pack.
