A Little Bit O' Steampunk

 Hello UmWowStudio fans! It's Amy here today, to share a mini book cover. I was wanting a little book to house photos of our move from Kansas to Iowa, and I saw in my stash, I had a couple of 7 Gypsies book covers. I set straight to work with my paint, stamps, and UmWowStudio chipboard bits.

This was the first project I made right after moving, and I was needing to let go of some creative energy that had been building up....so I was not thinking much about the design, just keeping things in an L shape, and adding freely. Adding the Floral Flourish, my first UmWowStudio love (really, I am pretty sure I've used this piece about 10 times at least) gave a nice moving focus to the small 6x6 cover.
I hope to share future pages in the interior of this book, a little "moving journal."
Thanks so much for having a look today!
Loves,
Amy

June Sketch Inspiration by Amy

Hello UmWowStudio fans!! It's Amy here today, to share a layout I created using this month's inspiring sketch!
I am completely in love with the gorgeous doilies, and using them was a no brainer paired with the sketch. For the background, I used a vintage plastic doily that had belonged to my grandma, and the circle confetti mask, layering with paint and ink. Since I had blended the photo into the background, I did the same with the doily, painting and inking the background on a gradient.

Finally,  I added my embellishments, like the gorgeous butterfly kisses flair.

I hope you were inspired to try this month's awesome sketch, there's always awesomeness offered for the winner of the month! I send you love and creative vibes! ~Loves, Amy
