Nook June Kit Layout and a GIVEAWAY

Good morning ladies! Sorry for being MIA this month, I am just having a hard time with the hot weather and was not in the mood to scrap lately. Thankfully, the June kit arrived in my doorsteps 2 days ago. I know Mr. Mojo never left but this gorgeous kit motivated me to scrap.

My Scrapbook Nook June kit features Lily Bee's Picket Fence line with lovely add ons such as wood accents, ruffles and florals. At first I was intimidated with the soft color palette and the purple patterned papers but once I started, I fell in love with the kit.

Here is the first layout that I finished yesterday:

This is a pretty simple layout. Everything was finished in less than an hour. I was able to use my mists, paints and stamps to achieve this look.

The banner wood accent was initially painted with purple and teal acrylic paint. Once dried, I stamped over it with some scripted text using a white inkpad. Love the effect!

I also managed to use a stencil template that I purchased from a car accessory store for $2. I applied 3 different colors of Shimmerz mist and a few droplets using the same colors.

The kit also came with these gorgeous Webster Pages Doilies. By simply adding a brad in the center and a few pearls, I was able to add detail and depth to my page. The Petaloo paper flowers were also chalked in the middle to add color. I learned this chalking technique from Hilde. you can view her class here.
