Birthday Boy - Big 16

Good morning Happy Scrappers

So yip another birthday to finish off 2017. 

My youngest son turned 16 - not the baby anymore 😲





To start the page I used the Gears and cogs stencil from Tim Holtz and inked with Brilliance white.

I used crackle paste through the Mini Cell Theory stencil to create some texure in the background.

I die cut gears and "Happy birthday"using turquoise and gold mirror paper (Sara Signature range)

I used tags from a Tim Holts paper range and cut out some arrow heads and tails.

I chalked all the edges with Tim holtz Vintage photo distress ink, except the gear die cuts.

I love the colours and how this page turned out.

I also prefer to use black and white photos or adjust the colour of the photo to be "paler"



Here is a close up
