My creative process for a layout! :)

Some of you asked me to share my creative process for a layout. Here is a short tutorial using the sketch and inspiration bits from the Sketchy Thursdays GDT challenge. :)

Step 1: I choose the papers I want to use (I usually cut out the back of papers if layers overlap), then add various colours of mist.

Step 2: I prep my photos by matting some of them on cardstock scraps that match the colours of my papers.

Step 3: I adhere the photos on my base papers and start adding embellishments. 

Step 4: I add some handstitching, stamping and titlework.

Step 5: I add my journaling and I'm done! :)

Supplies: Studio Calico add-on kit : Sunny Clearing, Heidi Swapp chipboard, Sharpies, ribbon, trim, Technique Tuesdays and Fontwerks stamps, baker's twine, thread, bling.

P/s: Are you in the running for my giveaway?
