13 arts April challenge- SWEET!!

Hi...i had to really think a lot for this one as i had two favourite colours ....i love PINK and Turquoise...as you will see most of my layouts done previously are turquoise or pink...lol..so this is my take on april challenge of 13 arts...we had to choose our favourite colour and there was a mood board for further inspiration...Details of the challenge... http://13artspl.blogspot.sg/2015/04/april-challenge-29-favorite-color.html

From the mood board I have used the roses...the dew drops,lock...a leaf stem...some micro beads and few buttons. I have used the pic of my sweet daughter this is from her 5th birthday...

I have used the simple stories designer paper and put clear gesso on the entire sheet then i took few shades of pink acrylic paint and mixed with gel matte medium and applied randomly where i was going to put my picture then i cut thin strips of designer paper, lace and canvas sheet and stuck it vertically near the painted area. I did silver heat embossing with stencil at the corners of the picture and the title sweet then some smaller square stencil with texture paste then I splattered some white pink and silver paint randomly .... I put together all my embellishments the mini roses on the leaf stem are handmade from tim holtz new die mini tattered flowers...added some cheese cloth for added texture...i roughened the edges of the layout and punched with martha stewart lace punch and layered on a pink card stock....i loved making the layout using all pretty things ...hope u like it too...thanks:)
