Grandpa's Boys with Photo Play Memory Lane by Kerryn Fry

Good morning all! My project today features the beautiful Photo Play Memory Lane This is my second page using these divine rich colours and  the photo has been taken from the archives. A precious photo taken from 2007 Father's Day, a very little Mr 3 with his Pa.  

 First an admission of failure!

When I first started this page, the base cardstock was white.

But once I started putting the layers together, I realized the white was too stark.

So I carefully pulled things apart and swapped it for Kraft.

Back to my happy place.

The Kraft base has been stenciled with layers of Distress Ink 

and different Crafters Workshop stencils

I love the darkness of the red and green, so I have continued them onto the base,

along with some grey.

The Element Sticker sheet for this collection was a fabulous way to decorate the page.

Black cardstock for some definition and plenty of 3D foam for depth.

I've added a few die-cut pieces using stars, doily and a tag die.

The title Grandpa's Boys has been painted with metallic grey,

once dry, I've add some red dimension paint dots to pop with the rest of the red in the papers

I've finished off the page with some random doodling use a black gel pen.

So glad that I did rescue this page.

I think the black & white photos needed the kraft base.

And as Mr 3 was wearing very bright Pj's, the photos were better in B&W.

Thank you for visiting the blog today

I hope you are keeping cool it this very hot weather and get to enjoy a great weekend.

Please pop back on Monday for Fiona's next page.
