My boys when they were younger, in 2010 |
I dug way back into my stash for the papers I used in this layout. The background piece is by Rose Moka and the die cuts were made with Basic Grey papers from several different collections (Picadilly, Sweet Threads, PB & J).
I randomly punched around the border of the background paper and subtly shaded the center and edges with black ink using a Clarity stencil brush.
I also added some eyelets to the background.
These are the punch and dies I used:

As usual, I layered each die-cut over a darker version to accentuate the edges.
The grass chipboard pieces were painted green and then streaked with a lighter watery green to add dimension.

I glued a mixture of Prills (Ribbit, Lemon Chiffon and Orange Juice) to the center of each large flower using Artquest's Perfect Paper Adhesive. The tiny white flowers were a dollar store purchase several years ago.
Thank you so much for taking a look!
