be Me

I, along with my friend Pam (http://peace-love-scrapbooking.blogspot.com/), are participating in an 8 week challenge at My Scraps (http://myscrapsandmore.blogspot.com/).  Week # 1 was a color challenge using the inspiration below.  There was also a need for some distressing and misting.

And the result...

For the life of me, I can't find my sketch inspiration.  I need to give credit where credit is due, but what can I say, but Sorry!

My colors aren't quite as vibrant as the inspiration.  I really took to the color palette of the lower left color swatch.

I first used a paper distresser to rough up the edges of the paper and then used water to mist the edges.  Using a small paint brush, I rolled the edges of the paper to curl it.  Then let it dry.  After it dried, I inked the edges.

The large brown circle was a syrofoam cup dipped in paint and kind of smudged around.  Also notice the mall blue circle...  it contains my fingerprint.  My boys loved that!
