Mother & Daughter using Echo Park Paper Co Wish Upon A Star by Kerryn Fry

Good Morning everyone. Today I am sharing my first page creating with the collection, Echo Park Paper Wish Upon A Star. I just love the primary colours! The photo is of my Mum and my big sister taken in Sydney 2015,  a girls weekend away celebrating my sister's 50th. This page started with a slight variation of my usual base cardstock, I think this one is called Dark Kraft. The colour in the background was the finishing touches added to the page at the end. I have used the 6x6 Crafters Workshop Template Tiny Circles, one of my favourites, with Distress Paint and a sponge.

I have built up the layers on this page with plenty of scrap cardboard

and a little foam tape under some embellishments.

Most pieces have been cut from the patterned papers

The sun's rays have been cut from patterned paper

and then a border doodled with black pen.

I have then decorated the smallest of the 2 Crafty Dianne's Doily

with Distress Paint and fussy cut a button for the centre piece.

You can see the dimension that has been created with cardboard under each layer
and to lift the different embellishments.

The houses and picture frame have been cut from the Journaling Cards.

The 2 Crafty title Mother & Daughter has been slightly renovated.
To suit the page, I have cut to title into two pieces.
The chipboard was given a light coat of gesso first.
Once dry, I have covered with Distress Paint Timbled Glass and
then finished with a coat of Dimensional Magic

I've used the title to frame the black & white photo and

the photo has been matted with black cardstock.

I have added faux stitching with a black gel pen on a few different pieces

That's my page for today, I hope you have been inspired.

Thank you for dropping in.

I'll be back on Friday to share my second page.
