Enjoy The Little Things In Life

The June Challenge at Berry71bleu is all about Summer . . . What is the thing you love to do most in the Summer?  I spend a lot of time outdoors enjoying the sunshine.  You can find me working in my flower gardens, or sitting out on my deck with a cool refreshing drink and a good book to read. My favorite author is Fern Michaels.  

 Our Design Team sponsor for the month of June is 7 Dots Studio.

We were lucky to be furnished with some collections to work with.  I used papers and tags from their Domestic Goddess, Hopefully and Love Is In The Air collections.

Our prize sponsor this month is Jacquard.
I was furnished a couple of colors of their PearlEx Power Pigments to work with and used them on the chipboard and lace on my layout.
 

I first covered my chipboard with some bronze ink.  Then I applied some distress crackle paint and PearlEx Green-Purple and Violet-Brass.  Once dried, I repeated the process.  I also randomly inked the lace below my picture and added some of the PearlEx colors.

Lots of layering -

Here I used a piece of hexagon chipboard from UmWow Studio
which I inked with some black and bronze ink.

I altered my picture in PicMonkey, a free online photo site.  I added a frosted edge around it in purple.

There is plenty of time for you to join our challenge.  

Please check out all of the details and prize information here.

Thanks for stopping by!
