Happy

A few weeks ago I found these floral doilies in the food section at Michael's. I was immediately drawn to the pattern and colors! They are a tissue paper texture, and I thought they would be a fun way to experiement with mixed media. 

Supplies: Doilies (Michaels), Thickers (Pink Paislee Cedar Lane), Embellishments (Maggie Holmes Open Book, Pink Paislee Memorandum, Studio Calico, Crate Paper Hello Love).
I primed my white cardstock with gesso, and added pink gelato and Heidi Swapp Chartreuse mist. I layered two different size doilies and added gesso over the top of part of them. Next I added a die cut flower from my Silhouette Cameo. I painted a wood veneer white to add by the title, then used frames as my layers. This is probably the only layout I've ever done that doesn't use patterned paper! It was fun finding layout inspiration in an unexpected place. Where's the weirdest place you've ever found crafting inspiration?
