Beautiful - just the way you are

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today.  I truly appreciate any visitors.

Over the weekend I created two pages  - the mojo is slowly returning.
Today's page is from the Scrapfriends (Kreative Koncepts) current challenge #23.

I have used photos of my DGS #2 along with a Dusty Attic word which says it all.  My journaling on the back says "Dear little Jake - you were born with a "Port Wine" stain birthmark on your cheek  Right from the start you were a little person with character, such a happy placid baby and you are BEAUTIFUL just the way you are - Love Granny"

Here is my take on the sketch

 

 

and some closeups.   I had fun playing with some mixed media.  On the Kaisercraft frame I used a template with heavy gel medium then inked to reveal the pattern.   Also used was moulding paste and liquid pearls for texture.   

Products used for this layout.

• Prima flower vine

I was really pleased with the way the page turned out.  Thank you Scrapfriends for a great sketch to work with.
