Years ago, I snapped a picture of my boy running amok outside. It was blurry and weird, but I liked it for some reason. When I saw this challenge, I knew I wanted to use this photo, but how? I also wanted to create motion on my page to match the photo. I finally decided that a combination of rolling "hills" of white cardstock set against fringes created from patterned paper might just do the trick. I used this absolutely gorgeous striped paper from Paige Evans' Whimsical collection:
People, would you just look at it? Seriously, I adore that paper. Anyway, here's what I came up with:
Leaving them slightly connected, I cut each stripe apart, creating a bit of a fringe. I fluffed the fringes to create depth and folded a few of them down. I added the white cardstock and decorated with hand cut clouds and hearts, which I painted. I was happy with the way this one turned out.
