Monday

Fresh clean day! :)


Fresh clean day

Ahhh...nothing like a bath to start a fresh clean day! :)
My layout features my nephew O and  was inspired by the latest challenge over at Scrapping The Music. This fortnight's song is Falling Slowly.


I actually painted this textured acetate for an album during a Donna Downey class I attended on Saturday but some of the paint peeled off so I thought it would be better on a layout enclosed in a page protector...*LOL*


I misted on the white background cardstock and blended the colours with distress ink in tumbled glass. Added some buttons and inked the photo with the same distress ink. Journaling was printed on transparency.

I used the sketch at Sketchy Thursdays.

P/s: Don't forget about my guest Donna's dimensional challenge...it ends on Friday! 

*Edited* This layout was a Sketchy Thursdays fave! :)
