boys will be boys {DT work for FWAB}

hello scrappy friends! 

today i've got a very special project to share with you 

"boys will be boys"

these pictures were taken last summer with our little BOYZONE babies:-)

on the picture is little THEO {my baby} with IVAN and MISHO {from my besties}. they were born just a few months apart and who knows may be one day they will be best friends too:-)

for this layout i used ECHO PARK "little boy" collection - i just love the bright vibrant colours and the cute embellishments of this paper line. it's perfect for little boys.

i started by adding colour to a white cardstock with PANPASTELS. after i was done, i stamped the corner with TIM HOLTZ stamp and added dots with a brown paint dabber from RANGER. in the middle i added a pearl from flourish with a bling colour teal and olive green.

the relief pattern on the cardstock is made with TCW mask and modelling paste. i coloured the waves with panpastels. 

for the gear i used TIM HOLTZ "gadget gears" die. i cut few of each wheel, layered the same size gears together to get a chipboard effect and covered them with gesso. after they were dry, i added colour with TIM HOLTZ crackle paint and distress ink pads.

the blue swirl is from FLOURISH WITH A BLING "chloe pearl flourish blue".

i used many DYLUSIONS stamps to decorate my page

the cute ribbon with cars is from K & COMPANY. i shaped the pattern paper edge with MARTHA STEWART "stars" edge punch.

i colored the DYLUSIONS stamp with TIM HOLTZ distress markers.

i hope you liked today's post.

i created this layout as an example for the monthly challenge at FLOURISH WITH A BLING "bling it on boys". you still have about a week to join in and to get a chance to win an amazing prize from FWAB.

i hope to see your creations in FWAB gallery.

hugs 'n smiles,
