"You make me SMILE"

I chose this gorgeous paper that had all of the colourings from the new board and this photo of my beautiful grand daughter when she was littler.

First I cut a rectangle from the middle of the green backing paper to use a photo mat as well as an apricot piece that matches the paper.

Then cut the main patterned paper down to 11.5 x 11.5 to have a border around the edges which I have distressed and inked.

The Dress form and some of the Botanical mix I have sprayed white. The remaining Botanical mixes and Foliage clusters have been painted green with a darker green sponged on small portions to add depth.
