Pink - a boy layout???




















This months mood board over at Scrap Around the World is all pink, gorgeous lovely baby pink and I really wanted to play along. So, I chose this photo of my two boys - the first time they met each other and enveloped them in luscious shades of pink taken from the mood board. The sketch is inspired from the one over at purple pumpkin.               


March sketch


A little about how I made my layout. The base is 12x12 card stock. I've pasted tissue paper on it, applied gel medium using a chevron stencil. On drying the gel medium acted as a resist and allowed for the print on the tissue to be seen through when painted with watercolours to create an ombré effect.  More layers of paint through stencils and splatters before matting the photo on several layers of crate paper love notes collection.




Also playing along with,
