Good Morning everyone!
Here its raining so a perfect day for some crafting... after the housework, washing and cooking :(
I'll just make sure I do the minimum so I have plenty of time to craft :)
This layout is of my daughter and her friends, taken at the middle school prom. These girls stuck together like glue! until they went off to high school and made new friends and drifted into new girly gangs!
The original photo was taken with a horrible orange background and really didn't go with the girls' dresses at all, so I cut it away.
I used a brass stencil for the background and inked it with distress inks and brushed over perfect pearls powders for a lovely shimmery girly effect.
I made the flower on the right using lining paper, inked this and powdered it too.
I am entering this into the Artastic Challenge - to use handmade flowers.
Thanks very much for visiting me!

ReplyDeleteIsn't that the great thing about scrapbooking, you can get rid of the bits that don't look great? I think it's effective the girls cut out like that, and gorgeous dresses. You have made great flowers and page. Thanks for joining us at ARTastic.
