Funny Face Memory Page with Grungeboard

Hi Dreamers!
How is your week going?  Well, I hope!  Today's project is a fun memory page I made using Grungeboard Letters and shapes.  All of the designers at the Blockheads Design blog have been showcasing Grungeboard all month.  I had this great big letter "k" and was trying to think what I should make with it.  I decided on a memory page with of photo of myself (much younger of course).  I keep paper pads with watercolor paper or mixed media paper.  And, sometimes when I have all my supplies out, I make a background on the pages.  Then I have these nice pages to play with.  This is one of those pages in the watercolor paper pad.

Materials List:

Stamps: Swirls from Whimsical - Take Flight Blockheads stamps

Inks: Forest Moss and Faded Jeans Distress Inks

Royal Satin Kaleidacolor Pad-Green 

Grungeboard Letters and Shapes

Mini Harlequin Crafters Workshop Template

Spray Inks

Teal Ribbon

Photo

Watercolor Paper pad

Brown Sharpie Marker

Instructions:

• Make the background with the Crafters Workshop template and spray inks on watercolor paper.  I did a tutorial on this quite a while ago
• Add the stamping--stamp with the distress inks and the green on the Kaleidacolor pad.
• Distress the edges with all three inks.

• Paint the Grungeboard letters with Gesso, white paint, or Picket Fence Distress Stain.  Just something to put a base coat on the Grungeboard.  I used Gesso  
• Let dry
• Apply the Distress inks to the Grungeboard pieces
• Using a Brown Sharpie marker, outline the edges of the letters.
• Glue the large "K" to the page.

• Layer the photo with Navy, Tan, and dark Green CS and add to page
• Arrange the smaller letters on the circles and glue to the page.

• Add a big bow with teal ribbon.

Such a fun project!  I think I will make more of these with other people!
