Sweet Boy, Love You - SATW Sep Challenge / Prima PPP

Hi Everyone

It's Thursday already and this week seems to just have flown by!

I have a page to share with you for the SATW Sep challenge here! Its a real goodie.



I used both the dramatic colouring and the sketch as inspiration for my page.


I had some Prima Engraver paper and thought it would be perfect for this challenge, and so that is what I used! I used a Prima stencil and gesso for the entire background and then went and added some Copper embossing powder randomly. I really like how it turned out and will definitely use this technique again! (Thanks Kelly Foster for this little seed of inspiration! ;-))


Joe is now 6 and I really wanted to document how sweet he is at the moment! I mean, there are certainly "monster" moments, but at 6 I still can hug and squeeze and kiss him! He is really such a sweet boy!



I had finished this page yesterday, but could only photograph it today! I had to laugh when I saw the Prima PPP come out for September, and that this page fits perfectly for that as well!

Thanks all for stopping by!
Hope you have a super evening!
Denise x
