Mixed Media Monday


The theme at MMM is to show what we love to do.

I recently learnt how to do faux leather backgrounds and I love doing them. This is a page I did for someone who shall remain nameless for the time being, as part of a round robin journal I'm involved in. It has several other techniques i love. The little embellishment in the corner is stamped utee coloured with perfect pearls, the words are grungeboard, coloured with a mix of different inks and perfect pearls to give them a metal kind of effect.
