I have always been so connected to music. I hear a song and it returns me to a time, a place or a feeling.
When each of our children were born...there was a song that connected me to that moment.. My first born son was 'With arms wide open' by Creed, Our second daughter was 'Sweet child of mine' by Guns N Roses and our last baby girl is 'Just the way you are' by Bruno Mars. I mention this, as that last song was the inspiration for this layout, using the lyrics as my journalling.
To create these flowers below... I used clear embossing powder for the first step. Then with the Stamp-ma-jig lined up the outline and stamped in with black Stazon ink. Just so it would pop a little more I used the Signo White Gel pen to highlight some of the creases.
