I’ve used 49 and Market paper for the background, the Vintage Artistry collection, "Botanical Press". The paper is sturdy enough to take lots of mixed media.
I used all sorts of left over bits and pieces of papers to form the mats.
I love this stencil which I used with texture paste and LSG spray
The Honeycomb chipboard was treated with Lindy’s Stamp Gang “Moon Shadow” mist
The Leather look Chipboard words matched the papers well without any treatment.
The journalling is on the back of the page and it reads:-
This is one of my favourite "little bubba" photos of you Oliver. It shows your happy nature and your twinkling eyes. It also shows that you still have your front teeth, so it was taken before they got knocked out. Not long after this, you had a bit of a fall when Mummy took you to the play ground and you knocked your teeth right up into your gums. The dentist said they might me OK and they did gradually come down again. But one day when we were looking after you, you tripped and knocked them right out!!! Oh no! I was mortified that it happened on my watch. It was late in the day, we couldn't phone a dentist or get hold of your parents, who were on their way to pick you up. The perils of Baby sitting. Now at almost six, you still have a big gap in the front.
The perils of Baby sitting! Photo taken 5th March 2013
The card was created on water colour paper.
The diamonds on the background were created by using crackle paste through
then rubbing distress ink into the cracks.
I used alcohol inks on acetate to create the butterfly.
