ARTastic July Challenge ...loving life!!




Hi there - well I don't think I've come down yet - still on could 9 about being on the Stuff 2 Scrap Creative team!! I guess the high has inspired this layout too! This is my first time using the new Tim Holtz kraft resist paper and oh my - I'm in love! The challenge is to use this painting Octoroon Girl by Archibald Motley....

Then for extra points you have to use a picture of yourself; shades of red and maroon and a hat or gloves somewhere on your lo (ooh tricky - mine is in the background on the kraft paper - can you see it?!).
I used the new Tim Distress Stain on the background and made that little rosette flower out of dyed seam binding (to match the bow on the top right).  Thanks for stopping by!
