(Erin) C'est Magnifique May Kit Reveal!!

Good morning :). I'm very happy to finally be able to show you what I've been doing this last month with the May kit from C'est Magnifique! I tell you what, this kit was A-MA-ZING to work with!! It features papers from 7 Dots Studio, and the pre-made texture and depth is nothing short of incredible- you definitely need to get your hands on some. I was told there are some kits available yet, see about how you can join here. 

So without further ado, here is my first layout with this kit:

"King"

This stalwart little fellow is my one and only rooster, Rusty. He is an Old English Game bantam, and he might be small but he's definitely king of the yard! His coloring is so beautiful and when I looked at this photo I recently took of him, I immediately knew which papers I wanted to use to scrap it.

 

Believe it or not, I only used two sheets of paper to create the multiple layers included in this layout. After cutting my main circle, I tore along the outline of the circle shape left in the paper from which I'd cut it, and layered it behind that main circle. After placing both circle shapes on top of another paper, I used what was left from the paper from which my circles came, and layered THAT behind my second sheet- if that makes any sense! Then lots of distressing and stitching add to the rustic feel I wanted to accomplish. 

I used the Prima mask included in the embellishment add-on, along with some paint, to create the white floral design along the lower half of my main circle- although, as happens quite often, much of it got covered up! I also used much of my most favorite medium- gesso- to play down some of the colors to create a cohesive arrangement with my flowers. Finally, my frames and tags were cut from the Prima journaling cards also included with the embellishment add-on.

Yeah, I know what you're thinking...this kit is pretty darn amazing. And this isn't even all of it!! Can you believe that?! :)

I'll be sharing with you the remaining 4 projects over the next week, so be sure to check back in. And head on over to C'est Magnifique if you're itching to get your paws on this stuff, as these kits do sell out FAST.
