Creative Embellishment September Challenge

I'm on a roll creating lately, lol. I've got so many inspiration lately. Unfortunately my personal photo's far behind with scrappin' , I still got inspired by Prince's music and it feels like that just have to create with his photo's instead of my own, for some reason. So here's a wonderful challenge that's going on at Creative Embellishments ;

So here's the inspiration photo to use :

And here's what I did with it. I started with a white background and added some white fabric where I sprayed some blue and white mist on and some blue acrylic paint. Then I stamped with a brick stamp all over the page , and stamped some music notes and my new record stamp. On the chipboard pieces I first added a layer of gesso , then I inked it with blue ink and finally added some glitters and some bling. Added some flowers around and some dewdrops. Finshed my page with some washi tape and stickers for the title.

I used a photo of Prince and Mayte for this one and chose the song; Saviour

"How did I ever come so far without U baby ?
What was I thinkin', what was I tryin' 2 be ?
Never did U ever give me reason to doubt U baby
U are my destiny and this I truly see "

My page was inspired by the blue colors and gears.

Here are some close up's :

Thank you so much for looking, take care and bless you all xoxo

Purple Tears

I want to submit this page for the current challenge at Creative Embellishments , unfortunately I didn't use any chipboard on it. 

I'm crying purple tears these days because my teenage hero is gone ! He was such an amazing and creative and talented artist, a musical genius. His music has been so important for today's artists. When I was a teenage girl my room was full with posters of him. He had that mysterious, sexy thing that attracted me. I was fourteen years old when Purple Rain was in the music charts. I played out loud my lp from Purple Rain, which my parents didn't like, lol. I still can't believe he's gone, and even I haven't thought about his music or him the last years, it really hurts when I heard the news, and still I am a little sad, he was my teenage hero in 1984 ! That's why I had to create a layout about him, normally I only create layouts with family and friends on it, but this had to be in one of my albums too. Never be forgotten in my memory. <3 p="">

The purple paint dripping down supposed to be purple rain , I added a teardrop gem at the end of them, unfortunately I didn't had purple ones. I also added some pearls above and under the photo according to his song; diamonds and pearls. 

I also created a step by step video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=No6EZg0JSyY

Thank you so much for looking.

He will be missed in this world, but will play on in heaven <3 nbsp="" p="">
