123 Challenge

Oh What Fun

 
This month's 123 challenge is:
Word: Fun
Colour:  Fire Engine Red
Technique:  Stitched Title
 
Decided to create a LO with some pics I took for a Christmas photo shoot with Brittany having a bit of fun, making silly faces and wearing some reindeer antlers.  Used some WRMK pp for the background and outlined the flourishes in black pen to make them stand out, slapped on some gesso and a few glimmer mist splats, then layered various embellies under the main photo.  I hand stitched around the title word in black cotton and added a couple of cross stitches.  Just had to used black ink and some black Maya Road doilies for a little contrast.  As you may have noticed I love adding black to my LO's when I use bright colours.

Sneaky Peak


Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving some love :))))
