Who'd a thunk it.



I love this paper. I really do. It's from the "Forgotten Papers" collection by Raspbery Road Designs. I also didn't think I'd ever find a use for it. Sweet loving words AND "toxic", skulls...


Well I didn't try, but one day I was in a super hurry and grabbed it. A friend's wedding colors were orange and green. She's been married for a few years now, and I was on my way to Holland where we hoped to reconnect. I really wanted to do something with the pics she sent me from her wedding. The res was pretty low on her pics (just sent as an email announcement), and I didn't want to ask her for others and spoil the surprise. Here's the result.


I suggested they drop a bigger pic over the tiny almost thumbnail (cropped from a larger photo), but the husband likes it and they want to keep it that way.

I searched all over Haarlem for a suitable frame and really didn't find anything I liked although I did buy one. I also couldn't find anyone who could print my file for me (machines were broken, etc.). In the end it's just as well, because they couple are going to have it printed on canvas where the design wraps around the frame. I think it will look pretty good when it's done!
