Tired of Christmas? Take a break with my summer LO.

Oh let's change it up today! Back in the summer Authentique  sent the Petaloo DT their Explore Collection Kit and I used it to make this fun vintage summer travel page.  The plaid paper in the collection made a great bottom layer for my layout.  I just inked and distressed several paper layers, added some white masking paste and paint and then topped it all with Petaloo's Darjeeling flowers.  I love love love the Darjeeling collection of blooms!   I used two different sized of flowers to make my clusters and tucked in some leaves that come with the smaller blooms.  Then I lightly brushed on some watered down gesso.

 I used some stickers and punched papers from the Explore collection to embellish my layout.

 Try brushing some watered down white paint or gesso over your flowers.  It gives an entirely different look that I think goes really well with vintage styling.
