Sketch #130 at Sketchabilities looks like the perfect opportunity for a bright color palette. Finding the right paper was easy with Carftsmith Gradients collection. I just can't get over the amazing colors and texture of this paper!
To My Younger Self:
ENJOY LIFE
To spice up my photo mat I used my craft knife to cut diamonds from the paper. First I used the reverse of the paper as a mask for modeling paste. Then I cut extra diamonds from the purple paper to let the green peek through.
With the purple and green papers I needed equally bright flowers. I grabbed my stash of Petaloo flowers and soaked them down with various shades of Dylusions. Generous helpings of gold and iridescent embossing powder helped things along.
The detailed border punch which matches the photo corners spices the edges up.
Finally, a title that reminds me to Enjoy Life!!!
