Chic



Chic

Hello friends! Gauche Alchemy's monthly challenge is up! And it's a celebration of mothers! My layout, Chic, features my chic mother back in 1970 when she was a swinging single gal. :) I used the pink, green and yellow mixed media color kits. :)


Patterned paper is from The Girls' Paperie. I made my own button with fabric [okay the butterfly's a little off center]...7Gypsies, stickles...


Some handstitching [cheated a little and poked holes in some of the panels though ;], journaling was written on a piece of doiley...:) Come play along! Check out the details here!
