Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge this week challenges us to the moon. I knew that I was going to scrap a page with with my youngest. One of our favorite nighttime stories is the book "Guess How Much I love you?" This started a nightly tradition of saying how much we loved each other.
We always tried to top each other and I loved that she came up with all the way to baby Jesus star and back.
I had a fantastic time creating this layout and loved how the page turned out even before I put the words and the photo into my moon.
The background was started with a mix of embossing paste applied over a star stencil. I let that dry and then came back in with a shimmery gold mist sprayed over the entire surface. I cut out a large circle to use to trace my moon in with watercolor pencil. I used a waterbrush to soften the edges.
I also cut a series of stars using a variety of dies which I then stamped with script. I popped some of the stars up and left some layered under. I added a touch of shadows with a blue watercolor pencil. I added a mix of sequins in the background.
I printed out the words and cut them up to frame the circle. along with the image which worked in hanging off the edge of the moon.

ReplyDeleteIt's one of my grand daughter's favourite books too, her daddy used to read it to her at bed time already when she was way too young to understand it, and now that she does, she still loves it....
