My son turned 19 this week (my daughter's birthday was earlier this month). I've been reminiscing about him as a baby and how much energy he had. I cherished his naptimes! Now a days he's up all night, on the phone or the computer.
Walking down memory lane, I came across this picture. He had tuckered himself out this day and fell asleep on the couch like this. I cut the picture out and nestled him on the moon that I cut out too. This was back in the day when the 12X12 scrapbook pages were intimidating to me and I would scrap a 4x6 instead. LOL!!!!
Opening up this picture in Inkscape software, I used a drawing filter on him and the moon. The picture was printed out on cardstock where I added a layer of clear gesso over it so that the distress stains would blend well. The journal pages, were pages that I used to clean my brayer off on in between gelli plate prints. I sprayed black and blue inks over both pages and flicked white specks of acrylic paint all over. Some of the brayer colors are showing through, giving it a bit of a galaxy look. Next I glued the cut out image on my page. I was going to write the above title on the left side and decided against it. I like it just as is.
I appreciate your visit today and hope you'll visit again. Until the next blog...enjoy!

Carol, this is just marvelous and a real treasure, I might add. Handsome little boy here. At first glance, I thought the image was actually a stamp because of all the detail and the appearance of texture. Great manipulation skills going on! Thanks for sharing such a sweet family photo!
