"Joyful Heart" Mixed Media Layout for C'est Magnifique

I'm excited to share my first design team layout from the gorgeous C'est Magnifique November Kit featuring the Blue Fern Montage paper collection. 

My niece has such a joyful spirit and captivating smile. When I saw the "Joyful Heart" sentiment on the Bouquet paper along with the "Smile" Phrase Tags, I knew they were a perfect match for this photo.

Tips and Techniques
There are so many beautiful elements in this kit! I've accented with black using the ribbon, Pebbles Phrase Tags, and Thickers Asterics from the Main Kit and a snippet of Eyelash Ribbon from the Mixed Media Kit. I've also scattered sequins from the Prima Ephemera pack in the Main Kit.

I've used a mix of flowers from the Main Kit, Flower Add On, and Mixed Media Kits. For the background, I've spritzed with mists from my stash and stamped lightly around this cluster. I've used the Main Kit cotton candy paint to create the rings and splatter along with black splatter with drawing ink from my stash. You can see just a bit of the stenciled flourish in the bottom corner. I used the Fleur de Lis Stencil from the Mixed Media Kit with light molding paste covered with Fran-tage Embossing Enamel. I adore how heating embossing powder on molding paste adds lovely texture. I've dry brushed white gesso from my stash across the dimensional elements and around the edge of my photo.

More gorgeous flowers along with a Prima Stick Pin and one of the Prima die cuts from the Main Kit.

I pulled apart one of the Prima 3-D stickers to add a flower and let the sentiment extend out. To add a touch a bling and black, I added a single beaded dangle from the eyelash trim in the Mixed Media Kit
