I just adore the soft colors in this kit! Here are my first projects I've made with Celestial Summer.

"My Littles" Altered Canvas

This is what I came up with for the altered canvas project add on this month, based on the monthly sketch.

This close up shows the detail of the ivy die cut out of the canvas paper and painted with the Tattered Angels paint from the add on.

Here's what the sides look like. I added some seam binding from my stash and used the floral wire from the embellishment add on to add some dimension.

Here's a close up of the BFS chipboard bridge.

And, as always with the project/tech add ons, I have a video showing how I made this canvas here:

"You Shine" Layout

For this layout, I used some blue, peach, and gold mists to create splatters on the background paper after using the Crafter's Workshop Ledger stencil with my new favorite medium, Wendi Vecchi Crackle Embossing Paste. 

Here's a close up that shows the detail of the stencil. I added some blue chalk ink to parts of the paste after it dried.

  

I used the ivy die from the project add on, and the canvas paper too. It's colored with the green Silks from the mediums add on, and then I added some brown chalk ink to tone down the color and give it a distressed look. 

"My Sweet Princess" Layout

Sometimes, I get a little tired of using mixed media and I wanted to make a page without all of that stuff! I need paint the BFS chipboard flourush with the Silks from the mediums kit, but other than that, I just focused on distressing and layers. :)

Here's some closeups of my more simplistic layout:

 

Here's a closeup of the embellies:
