Life is Beautiful so Just Smile Layout for ***The Dusty Attic*** & ***49 and Market*** and also playing at ***More Than Words***!

Goodmorning lovelies,

Spring arrived here in The Netherlands and I am really enjoying the nicer and warmer weather already, can't wait for the Summer to start. Today I want to share another layout which is very springlike because of the wonderfully and beautiful 49 and Market flowers & Dusty Attic chipboards  which is very easy to make it pretty when you have such gorgeous products to work with. In my last post I told you I am in LOVE with the "Vintage Shades" collections and all the words strips chippies,  so for this layout I used another shade of those flowers. I also added some butterflies from the NEW layered embellishments on my work.

Life is Beautiful so Just Smile: 

All the chipboard pieces are by The Dusty Attic which I colored with gesso and later one with embossing powder, rust paste and ink. For this layout I used the pretty NEW "Scents of Nature" combined with just one little piece of "Vintage Artistry" at the bottom part of my layout. The picture is one of my gorgeous little niece "Mijntje"who is not so little anymore she is almost ten now here she was just one, this picture makes me happy and smiling from ear to ear.

This layout was based on the pretty mood board & sketch at the Dusty Attic blog for this month did you already enter your work?? Can't wait to see it....

 On the background I used the faded demask stamp by Gabrielle and I used it with embossing ink and powder but also with just darker ink then I sprayed my most favorite spray on my whole layout {sidewalk chalk by Lindy's}

On the background I added paste with a damask stencil to match my layout. At the end I also used some mini prills. It's the first time I used the grunge board {not sure what the name is} on the lower part of my layout I really like the effect it gives my layout.
