I decided to go with some old and new Basic Grey papers. The old Phresh & Phunky and Vagabond card folders were used for mats and I also used the matching monograms and I randomly stitched around the page. At the bottom of the paper I have used white paint and Tim Holtz stamp and then applied mesh, magic dotti and mirco beads.
I couldn't pass by the Dusty Attic brick lazer cut, I altered this by painting, micro beading and I also used puffy paint. I was trying to achieve a grungy yet soft layout to describe my son at that age.

Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoyed looking. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
loving the grungy look of this one and what a fabulous use of those card folders (you have given me ideas now!) The little brick bits are a great touch and I am sure when I look at this again I will see a ton of stuff I have missed, that's what I love about your layouts you can look time and again and always see something new, Great job hon xxx
ReplyDeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteThe page was wonderful!
I love your overlays these layers were beautiful.
Congratulations for your beautiful work!
Beautiful Fi - don't know how I missed this one in TCR - in fact I do - it's because sooooooooooooo many people enter there that is's all a bit overwhelming & I just haven't had the time this week to go through all the entries! The tape you asked me about is called washi tape - it came in my Studio Calico kits - and some manufacturers, like Pink Paislee, sometimes have it for sale as a co-ordinating item with their paper ranges. At first I didn't know what to do with it but it's actually quite funky stuff...
ReplyDeletewow Fi this is spectacular xxoox
