Bikini Babe

I LOVE this page! I only wish you could see it in person! I started with an 11" square of thin acrylic that I have had in my stash for at least 5 years. No clue where or why I got it!! I decided to build the layout on the acrylic. I was going to leave it as is and then decided to mount it on white cardstock so it would be 12x12. I liked how that looked but it was missing something so I grabbe a sheet of black cardstock and the result came out great I think!  The whole page has such great dimension and texture to it. The yellow and green are GLITTER papers and the black and white polka dots is Jillibean Soup White Bean. I used silk flowers from Michaels and some small yellow prima roses. I used the last of the bling that I got at CKC last July. I guess THIS July I'm going to have to stock up better! I THOUGHT I had enough to last me TWO years! The letters are Jillibean Soup and Echo Park. Sketch by Beggahuna. I created this layout for the Chopped Challenge at Challenge Masters where we had to use one element from each of the last three weeks challenges. I used ALL of them, with the exception of two....stitching and scallops. And now that its done, I think I should have scalloped the yellow edge but oh well! The photos are of my niece and her daughter! They live in Florida and we live in New Jersey so I have never met Brielle and my poor sister, her grandma, has only been able to visit her once. I'm going to frame this and give it to my sister as a Mother's Day gift as I know she misses her girls something awful. I am entering this in Frosted Designs Friday bling challenge as well! That sure was an easy challenge for me! I love BLING!
