Trying Distressing.

This a recent layout of Nara. Its another photo of her that I altered in Picasa. I changed it to black and white and blurred the outside edges.
I then got out the paintbrush and water, the sandpaper ( I found a large emery board perfect for this) and got to work.

PICTURE PERFECT

First of all I inked the pink patterned paper on the back and then wet the edges and curled them onto the right side. I am happy with the results so many more experiments are still to come.


A close up of the sanding around the matting, and the curling of the background paper.

Another close up this time showing the hand made, stamped flowers I used as an embellishment.
