and inks and mists and this is the result:
It's based on Creative Scrappers' sketch #143
I started out with painting with acrylics on the canvas, then I used Heidi Swapp's mask with Glimmer mist Graphite, then I attached the photo, sewed the ribbon under the photo, mounted the canvas on a light blue cardstock, stamped a bit around the edges and under the title with Studio 490 stamps (LOVE THEM!),added some gesso for more texture, sewed some more, stamped the circles on coordinating cardstock and mounted them with foam squares. For the title I used some old letter stickers (as you can see, I didn't have any upper or lowercase "e"s left so I used the number 3 upside down) and WeR Memory Keepers chipboard letters which I also painted with Jenni Bowlin's acrylic dabber (Soap Powder).
Here are a couple of detailed shots of the texture:
the splatter is obtained blowing with a straw on the little puddle of glimmer mist that I shook on the layout from the mask
All the stamped circles but one are attached with foam dots to give more depth and variation
