Let's hear it for the boys using Echo Park Paper Co Imagine That Boy by Kerryn Fry

Good morning all. It has been quite miserable here this week, typical winter! So I was more than happy to stay warm inside and create. My page this week features the collection Echo Park Paper Co Imagine That Boy. This range is more suited for the younger males with planes and cars, but I loved the colour combination, especially the green, so I had to play. The photo, of my most favourite males in the world, was taken nearly 4 years ago in Marysville, Victoria I've given some white cardstock the honors this week for the base.

The background effect has been created using Distress Oxide Inks, 

some plastic packaging and water.

The colours Broken China, Twisted Citron and Fired Brick.

The second layer is some stencilling using black archival ink.

 

I have used the patterned papers to create the layers under the photo. 

Balancing the busy patterns and colours, but letting the deep orange dominate.

The photo has been with black cardstock to give it a clear outline

and propped up using some cardboard scrapes.

The 2 Crafty Star Circular Frame was used to highlight the boys, 

it was painted with Chipped Sapphire Distress Paint

and the stars backed with patterned paper.

The remaining star from the frame was used as an embellishment.

The journal spot was fussy cut from the 4x6 Journaling Cards.

The 2 Crafty Geometric Arrow was painted with 

Hickory Smoke Distress Paint and the circles backed with patterned paper.

I have used black and bronze gel pens to doodle different parts of the page.

The 2 Crafty Title Let's hear it for the Boys was the perfect title,
both for the photo I used and the collection itself.
I've given the chipboard a base coat using Picket Fence Distress Paint
and then once dry, swiped across the words with Hickory Smoke Distress Paint.
Love the line effect with the white peeking through.

I have finished the title with some doodling using the bronze gel pen.

 And that's the end of another week.
Thank you for visiting the blog today, hopefully you have found the page inspiring.
Have a great weekend, stay warm and happy crafting.
