I decided to use T!m Holt'z beautiful "Wallflower" vellum paper as the back drop. Applying white acrylic paint with my crackle stencil to the vellum added that bit of texture I wanted. I added my photo then dry brushed white acrylic paint around the photo and on the entire surface of the 12x12 layout.
I also created flowers using the vellum and Tattered Floral diecut. I then applied Versamark to the edges and added gold embossing powder. When heat setting the embossing powder the heat also curled the vellum petals beautifully. The pearls were colored with alcohol ink.
The chipboard frame, flourish and hanging charm are all from Blue Fern and they were painted white then different shades of gold embossing powders were applied.
I am so blessed to have such a special relationship with my daughter. Wishing you a beautiful month and I hope you can spend time with special people in your life that you can call "Friends". Be sure to drop by Anything But A Card... link up your project to play along. xoxo Toni
