Family~Scrapping

I want to scrap this photo for a long time since we back from a vacation at Cameron Highland in March, 2008. I need to wait for 9 months to scrap a photo, oh no!! LOL...This is a very simple layout and I played again with distress inks. My son said I just simply play as I wish when I made the background with distress inks! Yes, he was right! Just play as you wish when you made the background with distress inks, blending tool , sponge and a little bit of water.Here is the pictures and the steps:

1) on a 8"x8" white cardstock, stamped the swirl stamp from Fancy pants with versafine ink,then sponged with distress inks and blended with a little bit water and blending tool. For the white spot, I spritz some water, wait for a minute then tap with tissue paper.OK, here is the background made with distress inks, simple ??

2) Cut the photo in desired size, mat on a piece of white cardstock which I sponged some distress inks first. I handrawn stitches on the paper.

3) Printed some family qoutes from internet on patterned paper then cut in long pieces.Pinched some flowers from patterned paper.

4) Arrange all the embelishmets, flowers and photo in the way you like, tied the chipboard "f" with rick rack,glued some rhinestones and pearls on flowers and stamped image too.Viola!!

It;s really simple, I hope you like it as I do~~
