I really love this photo of littlest nephew J and niece S but it was really blur and grainy [yeah...I have a thing against flash and set my IS0 high because I have steady hands *winks*...not really...the kids blink when I use flash and I'm too lazy to take out the tripod *LOL*] because they couldn't keep still. So I changed it to black and white and then added some fun digi elements like the banner and the sentiments.
I really wanted to use my string of sequins but it was the wrong colour...so alcohol ink to the rescue! Tada...silver sequins became a matt gold...and added a textural interest to the layout. A few fun embellishments and journaling and the layout is complete! :)

P/s: Just a few more days to play along with my guest Shahrul's stitching challenge...it ends on Friday!

I loved the layout ..snaps on your LO are always fab ! What a idea to color sequin ...they look very nice here.
I don't think there's anything wrong with the pics.Am I blind?Great idea with the sequins.It would never have occured to me to add sequins to a fairly modern type project.It works very well!

I love using alcohol inks (or sharpies!) to color sequins. Awesome LO!
Your misting always turns out so well - so jealous - I tried rinsing the nozzles, I've tried soapy water but they still clog. Maybe it's the brand I use?
That white feather is a nice touch.
awesome....altered sequins! Love your layout and what a fantastic tip!
A wonderful page! And I love that you colored your sequins. I always like another use for alcohol inks! :)
