Other Products Required:
Circle Punches or dies (plain and scalloped) of various sizes 
Spellbinders Cogs Die
Tattered Angels Glimmermist - Tigerlily
Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Tumbled Glass
Pearlescent Liquid Acrylic Paint 

• Step 1 - Give your striped paper a quick spritz of Tigerlily Glimmermist, and to create the large droplets, unscrew the top and allow the mist to drop from the bottom of the spray stem. Give a little flick if necessary.  Allow to dry and then cut 1/2 an inch off two sides, before inking, distressing and then sticking to the background Reflections blue text paper. 

• Step 2 - Use your mask and some Tim Holtz Distress Ink with the distress tool to rub over the mask onto white card (Janine used the white patch of a "Road Trip" piece of paper she had). Make sure you give it a good coat for plenty of color.  Janine prefers to use the distress inks with the finer designs of the masks as they don't bleed and give a lovely crisp image with no warping of your paper.

• Step 3 - Carefully cut around the outer design of your masked image and set aside for later.
• Step 4 - Cut out a swirl from a Prima Mistable Canvas sheet and color it using a Pearlesent acrylic paint. (Janine used a Daler Rowney Liquid Acrylic paint, shown below, as they wonderful and thin paint with a fabulous coverage.) Once the swirl is dry hand cut around the image.

• Step 5 - Using various size circle Punches (Janine used Spellbinders nestabilities circles and scallop circles) punch out circles and scallop circles from your green packaging, Paisley Road orange paper and Reflections blue text paper.  Ink, distress and then layer on top of each other, finish off by machine or hand sewing around the edge of the inner circle.

• Step 6 - Using some Prima packaging (the older kraft coloured packaging) punch out some cogs (Janine used a spellbinders die for these), then stamp them using Timber brown Stazon and a Prima text Stamp.  Then cover them with a coat of Glossy Accents or any other clear dimensional fluid and allow to dry.

• Step 7 - Tear back some cardboard and tear into a roundish shape.  I used my masked image to create a guide for where I wanted to tear as I wanted it slightly larger than the mask. (I often keep sheets from boxes I receive with scrapbooking supplies in them!)  Then layer your circles and the cardboard onto your background page.

• Step 8 - Use a scallop cut out from green packaging and a circle from Reflections blue text paper to create a decorative frame for your photo.  Once again I used my cirlces and scallop circle Spellbinderz dies) Layer these elements onto your masked cut out and stick down as shown.

• Step 9 - Finish off by layering all your elements and create a flower cluster. (the small flowers were enhanced using the same Tigerlilly glimmermist used on the background paper).  Add your title and journaling (mine was printed onto transparency).

The page is filled with color and a "fresh" feel to suit the image of her "watered down" son!

I added some stickles to the leaves of the green flower for added sparkle.

I like to curl the edges of my handcut elements up slightly to add more dimension.
