Everyday I Think Of You . . .

Everyday is a happy day.

Notice the pleated washi tape?

Two 12 x 12 page layout

I loved the soft colors of this paper line. It made for a beautiful contrast for the pink blossoms in the photos. These photos of Amanda were taken last spring (May 2013) about a week before she left to serve a full-time mission for the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latterday Saints.
The light pink and black stripe is actually washi tape which I layered and folded/pleated. I used a white gel pen to hand write and add a bit if flourish.

Feathers In A Masculine Style

My son, Chris Huntsman with his dang cute boys!

This page was so much fun to do since I tried so many fun techniques.

I water and ink washed the back ground wood paper, 

then stitched and distressed the edges,

used Cricut to cut a background overlay,

which I inked with pigment inks and dauber

to achieve an ombre effect.

The same inking technique was used to achieve the 

shaded hue on the 'also, I love you'.

And then more stitching right thru the middle of the phrase.

Rock-n-roll technique was used on the fussy cut flowers.

I used this same inking style on the feathers-

choosing both colonial white and kraft paper

added to the uniqueness of each feather.

Add a staple and tie on some bronze thread-

ta-DA! A page to show off four awesome guys!
