Stuck On U Sketches

Below is the layout I submitted for the sketch challenge above at Stuck On U Sketches. This challenge began April 13th and runs for two weeks. My layout is titled "She's got a smile that it seems to me, reminds me of childhood memories." For those of you thinking that this title might, or maybe just sound a little familiar. Well, it's a song verse from Guns N' Roses- Sweet Child O' Mine. I just love using song lyrics for titles.
Anyhoo, I used the Swirlydoos kit "Whispers of Spring" to create this layout. It's a picture of my niece Mia, little girls are just so wonderful to snap photos of and scrap.

This is a close up of my flower that I made using TH's tattered floral die. I then spritzed with some TA chalk ink and smooch spritz in ginger ale. I crumbled the flower in my hand while wet to give the flower some dimension. Once dry, I inked the petals with some brown chalk ink.

 

Here's a close up of some of the title. I also did a little bit of hand stitching here.

I used the following chipboard DA0568 peacock feather on this layout. I colored it with acrylic paint in pearl/snowcap. Added some shimmerz paint pink, and smooched with ginger-ale. I also inked the edges with chalk ink.  Then I covered it all with glossy accents to give it some shine.

  

I covered the back of the chipboard with feathers from petaloo premier pack in cream. 

And the title again
