Scrap Friends skech #3

Happy Independence Day to all of my American friends!!! I hope everyone has a fun, safe day, whatever you may be up to!!
I'm just popping in to share a layout I made using Sketch #3 from Scrap Friends, I absolutely adore these sketches!! This one immediately inspired a fun, artsy/messy page, see the sketch below and you will see what I mean!!
I had a ton of fun making my background with Glimmer Mist, gesso, washi, stamping, masking, and the black floral bits are a transparency. 
I used a few fun 2Crafty chippies, the Dream Big title and the Funky Hearts and Gigi's Flowers.
I just really let loose and let creativity take over on this one. I think I do my best work when I shut my brain off a bit and just create! Thanks for taking a look!!
