First Class Lightning Bug by Riikka Kovasin

Hello! It’s Riikka here today to share a layout using some of the new collections! Oh boy are they inspirational! Great amount of neutrals that work with any color and then for example the great flaming reds of the “Yuletide” collection. What’s your favorite one?

The topic of my page is this lovely hobby and how it unites. Moreover it’s about lovely Terhi and our friendship. She really brightens even the greyest day! And because I happened have the flair “lightning bug” in my stash and found a quote “first class” in the word stickers, I had the perfect description for her and title for the page.

I started the page with some gesso. It added a little light to the teal colored paper and more over made a great base for the mists coming on top preventing them from soaking into the paper immediately. Next layer was to add different mists and I also used the new stencil there. On top I then added some stamping, pencil doodles and also flicks. I used both black Archival Ink and colored Distress Inks in stamping.

On top of the self-made background I then layered the papers and photo. This time I used tags from “Lost and Found” collection as the main material of the layers. Then I finished the page with some die cut shapes, flair and stickers.

Thank you for stopping by today! Have you been playing with the new collections already?
