Shine brightly by Riikka Kovasin

Moikka! It’s again Riikka here to share a layout with you! The inspiration for this page was not only the photo of my daughter but also the beautiful colors of this month’s challenge board. I loved the sweet and soft colours that made me think about summer and ice cream. My page took a turn for the stronger palette along the way, but that’s where the inspiration rose.

The picture was taken when we were just leaving for a weekend in the country side. The light was so perfect, so I just grabbed my camera and took several photos of my younger daughter. She’s a fun mixture of tomboy girl and princess style. She loves her black leather jacket and dinosaur hoodie but also tulle skirt and faux fur bolero.

I started the page with some paper layers, gesso and paints. The chipboard shapes I covered with glimmering gold paint. If you want to see how I made the page, please see the video below!
