Create a smile: Saturday Scrap Scenes with Terhi

Hi all, it's Terhi here with another Create A Smile scrapbook layout. This time with a pink floral theme and with a perfect photograph of my two beautiful daughters. I'm always looking for new ways to combine different tools or things, this time I used stencil on a stamped image - look closer, on those big flowers.

In our last release I played with 'Time to say Thanks' stamp set, and got excited about coloring stamps in traditional way, just like some cardmakers do. I chose this big flower from Magic Flower stamp set to create the background. Oh boy it was fun! In addition to painting, I used In Circles stencil to create chevron pattern on top of the flowers, with modelling paste.

Sometime choosing a color combo can be tricky. For those moments, my secret is to keep on black and white and then choose one additional other color. As here, I mixed some raspberry pink paint with water and kept that as my main color, from background to final touches and you'll find the same paint on my chipboards.
