My son Evan in August 2017 |
For this layout I used some Blue Fern Studios papers.

I did some stencilling on the background using a Clarity Stencil Brush and Weathered Wood Distress Ink.

Blue Fern Studios Spring Branch |
The diamond-shaped tile border was by a now defunct brand called Harmonie.
I heat-embossed the Spring Branch with different colours of Distress embossing powder (Vintage Photo, Peeled Paint and Shabby Shutters). I started by embossing the whole thing with the Peeled Paint colour and then using an embossing marker on the parts I wanted to emboss with the other colours.
The diamond-shaped border pieces were coated with clear gesso and then Ranger Texture Paste Opaque Crackle. When that was dry I rubbed some ink overtop to highlight the cracks more and grunge it up.
Thank you so much for taking a look!
Hey Tracy, The stenciling is absolutely gorgeous! Crackle is beautiful! Lovely layout. Thanks, Denise
