Hey Savages, Kim here to share some more of my layouts made with this months kit Celestial Summer. I had such a great time creating with this kit. 

First up is a layout featuring my Goddaughter. This photo was taken at her senior prom and it goes so well with the kit. These papers in the kit are amazing. They take mixed media products so well.  I did some masking, misting and stamping to highlight these gorgeous Blue fern papers. 

I used items from the main kit as well as the flowers, embellishment and mixed media kit. I also used a few things from my stash.

My next layout features an older picture of my niece from her kindergarten graduation.There are some Prima Princess papers in this kit, what perfect papers to highlight my sweet little princess. I did some masking and misting. I added a few items from my stash, everything else came from the main kit.

Thanks for taking a peek at my final projects with the Celestial Summer kit. Don't forget to stop by the Boutique and pick up your Celestial Summer kit, if they haven't sold out. Or better yet, never miss another kit by subscribing to the monthly kits.

This weeks chosen layout is this beautiful page made by " Heifer21".

Beautiful flower clusters. Cute butterflies and a sweet photo. All assembled in a neat composition. .

Congrats to you =)

Enjoy!

The chipboard pieces came in the Embellishment add-on and are a Blue Fern flourish that I cut apart and heat embossed. Those pretty doilies are part of the main kit.
 I love Prima's wooden embellishments and this one came in a set included in the Embellishments add-ons.

I did a little masking using Golden's Crackle Paste and a Prima mask - both from my stash.  You can see Prima's wooden rose embellishment peeking out here, also from the Embellishment add-on.

Supplies:
Cardstock: Core'dinations Vienna Lake
Patterned paper: Blue Fern Ombre Dreams collection: base - Susan's Dream, rectangle - Ginger's Dream, torn rectangle - Blue Fern packaging

When my two oldest were younger I love to dress them up as fairies and takes pictures. So, I knew I would use them for this kit.  You can find the Mystic Dragonflies in my Etsy Shop.

 My next project is Fairy Trinket Box. I painted a wooden box with gesso, sprayed with Prima mist then added Distress Crackle in Tattered Rose.

 Here is the trinket box open.  I made a little cushion to rest the key to the "Fairy Realm" with a little bottle of fairy dust. :)



Thanks for taking a peek!

For this layout I´ve used the main kit, flower add on, embellisment add on and the medium add on.

My next page  is of my daughter one day at the beach by the sea.. so the blues went well with this photo. I have layered some doilles , lace and chese cloth and then went over it all with a stencil and light modelling paste. On top of it I´ve used some spray colors
.

For this page I´ve used the main kit, flower add on and mediums add on. I have painted the chipboard piece with the galatos that was part of the medium kit.

Happy Saturday everyone!
Today I want to share a card I made with this month's GORGEOUS kit



and of course I have photographed each step, for you to see, how it came together.


For the base of my card, I cut a piece of cardstock at 10.1/8 x 4.1/4 and folded it double lenght wise. So the fold is at the top.


I spritzed my edges with a lilac mist. (which I made using the Izink's that came in the last 2 Medium AddOns) Then I brushed on some white acrylic paint and while the paint was still wet I sprinkled diamond glitter over it. let it dry for about 10 minutes and then fixed the glitter using hairspray.


I cut a piece of pattern paper at 8 x 3.7/8


I marked it at 4.5/8 (where the line is) from the bottom and then glued that part to my base card. Like in the picture.


Then I measured about 1 inch from the top, scored it, and added glue to that part.


I made a pencil line at 2.1/8 from the bottom


And glued the top part to that line. (and YES, I know the script on the paper is upside down)


It looked like this from the side vieuw.


I had die cutted this frame earlier, but I only wanted to use the oval shape from the center. As you can see, I misted it in a lilac shade and added ink around the edge to the one I want to use.


I hold the oval die cut to my base card and thougth it was a little too big. So I folded it double and cut around, using a deco-scissor. (Later on, I decieded that I needed to do that again.) I inked the edges with 2 different shades of lilac. I used colorbox chalk cat's eyes.


I took 1 of the fairies that came in the Main Kit. Gave it a light coat of white acrylic paint, and whilst the paint was still wet, I sprinkled diamond glitter over the wings. Set it aside for later use.

Then, I wanted to use an idea I had earlier: .....>> grab some buttons <<.....
and... ah well let me show you


I glued 3 little buttons at the bottom of my card. I used Beacon Gem-Tac for it, as it dries clear.


Then I glued 4 sparkles like this. (I later realized that these sparkles came from last month's kit)


I grabbed my roll of cotton thread..


Glued one end in between, like the picture shows.


Added some glue around the sparkle and guided my thread like so


Then I added glue around the button and pushed the thread into the glue like this (Gem-Tac dries clear)


Then I moved my thread up like this, and added glue around the second sparkle.


I pushed the thread into the glue and guided my thread towards the second button and repeated the previous steps.


Till I created this pattern. I glued the end of my thread like I did the one, at the begin, on the left side.
I love how this pattern looks on the card. It really adds dimension.


Because I want the oval die cut to stand out from the card, I took a bottle cap and filled it up with foamtape.


Then I hot glued it to my card. This is going to be the base for the oval shaped die cut. I could have used foamtape alone, but I thought it was taking too much time to go in between the lines of the thread.


Then I took a piece of scrap, which was perfect to go on top of the die cut and be the base for my flowers.


I glued it like this, and I also added a few tiny dots to the die cut, using Stickles in purple.


I selected the flowers I wanted to use


And I gently teared, the white-creamy one, in half. (Krissy has these in the Boutique - Petaloo Botanica Collection mini's)


I added the resin fairy, the leaves and the 2, half flowers like this.


And then the little Petaloo rose that came in the Main Kit.


I wrote my sentiment on a piece of paper


scratched the edges with my nails and glued it in place.


Then I cut a piece of a doily, that came in the Main Kit


And glued it at the top, in between the card base and the PP


Using the Shimmerz Dazzlerz in Dreamcycle, from the Mediums AddOn... I watered it down a bit and, almost dry brushed it to the top. If you didn't get the Mediums AddOn, you can use a deep peachy color water paint for this too. (Don't make it too wet!)


After the Dazzlerz dried, I added some structure paste with a palet knife and let it dry. (this dries fast) Then using the Shimmerz Texturez in Artie-Choked, also from the Mediums AddOn, I dabbed some on top of the structure paste using my finger. If you didn't get the Mediums AddOn, you can use any paint of your liking. The texture is already there because of the structure paste.

***If you don't have structure paste: You can take Gesso and add sand to it, give it a good stir and it is ready to go.***


I also added, some of the above, to the bottom and sides of my card.


And I called it done!

I hope you like it, and picked up a few tips.
