OH! And here's my interpretation of the color palette.!!!

I had a great time with the colors.

I love teal with most any combination.

But red. YUM!!! Red happens to be my favorite color.

I used an old Basic Grey line Out of Print

as the base paper - the flowers work as part of an ocean them.

And the straw was a touch of whimsey along with

some rubon and die cut sea critters.

Spritzed some mists.

And that bow was just waiting.

And the photo of Amelia.

Swoon.

Remember that tease with the bingo card....

I started with a challenge from Off the Rails Scrapbooking to alter

an item or items with mist, paint, ink etc.

Well these two items have been laying about forever.

Tea varnish and a card. I added the varnish with a foam brush

unevenly I might add so that it more resembles that

uneven aging.

 This unknown big flower I've also had forever and the

name is on the tip of my tongue and will it roll off -nooooooo

There's also some Ranger ink on there for a bit more definition.

 I picked up these new KaiserCraft embellies just the other

day and man did they work out perfect.

 Just brushing the tea varnish over changes the look

quite dramatically I think.

 I thought I might have been getting too carried away.

(As if that could happen) but when its all assembled it

looks like it aged that way.

 I love the layers. I did pull the twine off and aged that as well

because after looking at this photo it stuck out like a sore thumb.

And wa-la! Of course I had to go find a photo that would that wouldn't overwhelm

or be overwhelmed. That's my mom and I honestly can't

guesstimate a year on it. I think this will be one of my favorites.

Sadly I can't it sit around too long - FL does not lend itself in keeping the

photo from fading unless I frame it. hmmm.......

So your challenge is to alter an item or items; link it up over at 

Off the Rails and be eligible to win a prize.

Thanks!
