To infinity & beyond...

I was inspired to create this page by the colours in the photo of my little lad on World Book Day last year.  I'd also seen a layout done by, I think Kim Stewart (nerolisyke), where she had used all her left over alphabet thickers to create a background, so though I would give it a go.

I started with a piece of white card stock and started to stick by alpha thickers onto it.  I then brushed on some white gesso to act as a key for the colour. 


I used inktense blocks to apply bands of colour and merged the colours together with water.  I also added some cosmic shimmer spray inks through a stencil.


I kept the embellishments fairly simple by adding a row of buttons, ribbon and twine just down one side of the photo.  I cut the title on my cricut and then embossed each letter and sanded it.
Back later in the week, thanks for stopping by.
