13 assignments - Kraft Plus challenge

Happy Sunday dear crafty friends!

I really loved the current challenge at Kraft Plus, and I'm so happy I finally managed to play along with this challenge.

Here's the challenge's moodboard:

As part of his Bar Mitzva year, my youngest had 13 assignments at school, all around the theme of the Bar Mitzva and getting into adulthood.

He was asked to bring a decorative folder, to hold all the written assignments, so Mummy was so so pleased :).

I took a folder one of the kids' folders, with Spiderman on it (something borrowed), and coverd it with a blue paper to frame the kraft layout. 

I used lots of mediums on this layout - first I primed it with clear gesso, then worked with a modeling paste over a stencil.

Next thing was adding color - Lindy's Gang sprays (Danny Zuko's Denim flat fabio, Sassy Sapphire shimmer, Delphinium Turqouise shimmer and Afternoon Delight Denim shimmer).

Stampping with 7 Dots Studio stamps here and there, splatters of white gesso and Lindy's Gang sprays.

I used Altair Art papers to mat the photo and the big hotair balloon die-cut (a new die - something new), from the Dream Come True 6x6 pad.

For the embellishments I added a piece of vellum, after I stamped with a text stamp, and some die-cut gears (Memory Box die). I also used some vellum diamond shape stickers, Sudio Calico's, that I've been hoarding for years (something old, well pretty old - I think I have them over 6 years..).

As for the blue - I guess I have plenty of blue on this layout, LOL.

Here are some close-ups on the details (just look at all the shimmer on it! love it):

Thank you for taking the time and visiting my blog. I appreciate your comments very much.

Have a wonderful weekend!
