So here’s my Finished project

My first step was to make my focal points. I stamped the image on white cardstock using archival inks and coloured the image using water color pencils and then fussy cut my image and I was done with first face.For the second i decoupaged a newspaper on a white cardstock and then stamped the image using archival ink again and then fussy cut the image and my main element of the project were ready.

I took a few scraps of paper that i thought would go with the color palette i had in mind and distress-ed the edges with a distressing tool and composed them around my focal point to give it some depth.

I have randomly stamped using black archival ink keeping in mind the way i wanted the composition of this layout.next I diluted Craftyscrappers chalk paint-“Creamy Banana“ and spread it with a brush .
Stamped some leaf images and heat embossed it using violet pearl embossing powder.

To add more layers to the project I spread some Craftyscrappers Shimmer paste-Tickled using a palette knife.

I also addded some mega and mini art stones , mixed it with some 3d gloss gel and a drop of orange spray to give it some color,at this point i felt it needed something more so i used the same yellow chalk paint to do some stenciling around the composition and at the corner.

Finally I added a chipboard sentiment ,some die cut leaves.a piece of thread a flower,some splatter with black paint and tada…my project was complete.
