One day last week, I brought my tripod along with me to the beach and took this photo of Austin and me, reading our books from the Harry Potter series.
Then, this weekend, I printed out the photo and made this layout, using this week's Papertry Ink's Make It Monday #22: Multi-colour stamping with ink refills. I converted the photo to black and white, because the only reinkers I have are SU! ones: Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red, Chocolate Chip and Baja Breeze-- none of which coordinate with Austin's orange shirt. ;)
I used Papertrey Ink cardstock (simply chartreuse and vintage cream), Text Style I stamp set (which I stamped repeatedly over the whole background with Versamark), twine and Tag Sage #3 die. I also used SU! & MME patterned paper and Pink Paislee letters. The little green number stickers are October Afternoon. The bookshelf stamp is Studio Calico.
A few close-ups:
Thanks for looking!
Your layout is beautiful. I love your text background. The book stamp looks great.
