Special Moments Layout

Hi Happy Friday CE Friends!! Did you see the new product we added to the store. If not hop on over and check it out!!! Nicolle here sharing a layout I created based around a picture my uncle sent me recently of him and my dad. He knows my sis and I  don’t have a lot of photos of our father. The picture was a picture of him holding his accordion at the age of 12. I am guessing this picture was taken in the 1960’s. I actually got to see the accordion when we were helping my dad clean his attic when I was a teen. I asked him to play but it was broken. He just threw it away. I am a lover of music and I can see where I get it from. The only genre’s I don’t care for are Country and some rap.

I started by stamping the background with the grunge music note sheet stamp with dark blue stazon ink.  For the moroccan panel pieces I simply applied prima’s chalk edger ink in the color cold ice.  I applied gesso to the Flourish page corner.  I also a few wood items to my page. The wood music notes were altered with maya gold in the color grey and the stars I simply added color with a Faber Castell blue big pitt artist pen. One of my fave chippies is the music note border. I applied gesso for the base coat.I  then applied some chalk ink in the color blue jay onto the whole piece. In some areas I went over with maya gold in grey and finished with with a little Tim Holtz distress paint in white picket fence. I altered the page corner at the bottom right side of the page the same as the border.  I stamped a grunge star on the right side of the photo using the blue jay chalk edger.

I spy a piece of flair.

Thanks for stopping by the blog.
