Calling Grandma

This layout is made for the ongoing challenge at Kraft it up! They have a fabulous color combo this month – and it’s perfect with kraft! Here’s my take on the challenge:
I love to use paint on my layouts and with this color combination I could use a lot of paint! Oh, this was fun! In addition to acrylic paint, I have also used gesso and Distress Ink.

I used some bright papers from Basic Grey’s Lauderdale. The white/transparent butterflies from K & Company fit perfectly with all that color.
The chipboard heart is covered with yellow Washi tape. There is also some red Washi tape under it.
And for those who understand Swedish, here’s the journaling:


Thank you so much for looking and leaving all those lovely comments!!! It really makes me happy!!!
