This was taken just before my eldest daughter's high school graduation in 2002. I wish I had a more recent photo of the four of us. Now they are all grown up with their own lives and families. Awww but time flies.
I simply enjoyed putting this layout together. After putting in my first two layers I applied a mask for texture and interest. Next I used a chicken wire stamp randomly then a bit of inking here and there and viola a master piece! lol!!
I use a bit of burlap to frame the picture from behind and this gorgeous chipboard circle from Creative embellishments on top.
This lovely frame was first inked in brown than a coat of glaze dusted the tips with gesso and then green ink on top of that.
I just love the cutout ribbon! I placed this heart chippie to give the effect of sea weed reaching down from the pond above.
Thank you for stopping by today to see what the papers are saying. I always enjoy your visit and kind words. I hope to see you as one of my followers in the future.
