Brushed Joy Captured Layout

I made this layout a couple of weeks ago but never got around to posting it here. I love how this turned out, and my pictures worked perfectly with the Brushed kit's colors of green, yellow and pink.

Recipe:
Paper: Brushed, Juniper CS, Pixie CS, White Daisy CS, Slate CS (CTMH)
Stamp: Brushed WOTG, It's The Little Things (retired) (CTMH)
Inks: Black, Pixie, Buttercup (retired) (CTMH)
Tools: Craft Tray, Craft Heater, Clear Detail Embossing Powder, Sponges, Journal Pen, Micro-Tip Scissors, Cricut Artbooking Cartridge (CTMH)
Other: Topiary Washi Tape, Foam Tape (CTMH)

These pictures are from 3 years ago. Hard to believe my little girl will be 7 in just a month.

Happy crafting!

Brushed Oh So Happy Layout

Good morning. I am so happy to finally see the sun shining. I hope that is a good omen for how today is going to go. My little girl (pictured here) has to have her first cavities filled today. I'm anxious about how she is going to be.



Recipe:
Paper: Brushed, Pear CS, White Daisy CS (CTMH)
Stamps: Brushed WOTG, It's The Little Things (retired) (CTMH)
Inks: Buttercup (retired), Pixie, Hollyhock, Juniper, Black (CTMH)
Tools: Sponges, Cricut Artbooking, Micro-Tip Scissors, Craft Heater, Clear Detail Embossing Powder, Leaf Green ShinHan Alcohol Marker, Journal Pen (CTMH)
Other: Topiary Striped Washi Tape (CTMH)

This is the first time I've tried this technique. First, I cut out an overlay with my cricut. Next, I tacked it down gently with some washi tape (since it's repositionable). Then, I began sponging yellow ink down in random spots, followed by pink ink. I even sponged ink on to my clear stamp to get a two-tone ink effect. I will definitely have to use this technique again. It really jazzed this layout up.

I would like to enter this layout into the following challenges:
1) Use Your Stuff Challenge #177
2) The Paper Players PP236 Challenge

Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
