My mother in the 1940's |
This photo of my mother smiling shyly with a ribbon in her hair made me think of "Sugar and spice and everything nice, that's what little girls are made of", hence the title of this layout.
I used papers and flowers from Prima's Royal Menagerie collection.

I edged the petals of some of the flowers with paint to give them more definition.
I did some stencilling with molding paste on the background. While the paste was still wet, I heat-embossed the dandelion heads with Wow embossing powder in opaque bright white to make them stand out more.

Thank you so much for taking a look!
This one is SWEET, Tracy! I really can imagine the difference in the flowers had you not edged them with paint - great idea! And brightening up the beautiful dandelion stencil makes this layout "shine". Beautiful!
