It's the Simple Things using Echo Park Paper Co Wish Upon A Star by Kerryn Fry

Good morning all. Hope you are keeping nice and warm. Today I'm back to share my second page using the fabulous collection, Echo Park Paper Co Wish Upon A Star. I'm sharing the limelight with Mr 14 at the Tour Down Under back in 2013. Started with plain Black cardstock for this page, but I've flipped to the smooth reverse side and just let the patterned papers and photos shine. I love how crisp the primary colours appear on the black. It helped that Mr 14 was wearing a black t-shirt as well.

The patterned papers have been layered first.

The embellishments have been hand cut from the papers

or are sitckers from the Element Sticker Sheet

I have added a some faux stitching with a black pen

and a few white borders with a Sharpie Pen

Some of the stickers have been matted with black cardstock

and raised with foam tape.

Love the row of stars from the sticker sheet.

The 'smile' letter have been hand cut from the Border Strips.

The 2 Crafty title It's the Simple Things was given a base coat of gesso 

and then painted with Mustard Seed Distress Paint.

The 2 Crafty Stars have been painted with Candied Apple Distress Paint 

and then doodled with the Sharpie Pen

 The camera and small stars are from the sticker sheet, 

they have been popped up with foam tape.

That's my page for today. Thank you for visiting the blog today. I hope you have a lovely weekend, please remember to drop by Monday for Fiona's next project. Products Used: Echo Park Paper Co Wish Upon A Star - Border Strips Echo Park Paper Co Wish Upon A Star - Magic Castle
