Unstampabelles ~ Creative Souls

I think any kind of art is the work of a creative soul!  But I did break away from my go-to style with this layout, and got creative with texture paste stencilling and watercolour paints.  I was inspired by the work of Brisbane scrapbooker Amanda Hartmann, who uses a lot of mixed media in her layouts.  I watched a fun, relaxed video tutorial that she created for the Scrapping Clearly cyber crop, and my layout CASE's some of those elements - texture paste, paint, and basic diagonal design.  Amanda used stamped butterflies on her layout, but I used clear stickers stuck on patterned paper instead.

It's really hard to capture the iridescence in my photograph, but in real life it has a very pretty, shimmery finish:
