A Great Night Out...

Good morning, 
today I would like to share with you another scrapbook page, this is my dear hubby and I out for a night at a lovely Greek restaurant, we had such a wonderful night.
I used this fabulous sketch over at Blue Fern Studios, it was a great sketch to work with and I've used my blue Fern Chipboard piece Evening Lamp Post

I also followed this lovely mood board from Scrap Around The World, these are such beautiful colours.

A few close ups :)
the middle flower I coloured with some chalk ink and I added a little to the inner of the other two large flowers


Below; I used the clock from the Maja papers and a resin heart


Here I used texture paint and a stencil to add this lovely 3D effect to the paper (I love this effect)

and the perfect sentiment from Kaiserkraft

Last but not least I would also like to add my scrapbook page to 
These beautiful Maja papers, Love Charm, Resin Heart, gorgeous lace & string Pearls all from Live & Love Crafts

Thanks again for stopping by, it really means a lot to me.
Have a great weekend
