More of Authentique 'Classique Beauty'

Hi everyone! I'm back with another share working with the gorgeous Authentique 'Classique Beauty' collection for The Scrapbook Store.  As the name would suggest it is primarily a feminine collection, but nothing like a challenge hey?  I've decided to use a photo of my son and I and wanted to try and keep the layout masculine as far as possible.  I thought I could get away with a few flowers because I was in the photo too. ;)
 
A close up of my little cluster of Petaloo flowers, Green Tara Mini roses and stickers.  I had great fun tearing some washi tape into thin strips to add a bit of red to my layout.
The light bulb is from 2 Crafty and the arrows are Prima crystals from my stash.
I've created my background using a Tim Holtz 'Dot Fade' stencil and texture paste and then added layers with different stamps from Tim Holtz and Prima. The 2Crafty 'Interlocking Grid Panel' chipboard looked great with just a layer of black ink.
I was inspired by the gorgeous mood board at Scrap Around The World. The quote is pretty much how this photo makes me feel and the yellow just matched perfectly. I also thought that the  arrows were a nice touch.
That's all I have for today, but will be back soon with another creation or two.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog. Have a wonderful day.
Until next time.
