A layout to share...

I finished this LO around 2 am this morning. I was following this sketch: http://www.creative-scrappers.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=497&pos=15

I just flipped the sketch so my LO is a mirror image of it.

I heat embossed the lower left corner of the photo with 3 layers of UTEE and 2 layers of Iridescent Sparkle on top.

The title is white Thickers that I covered with Crushed Velvet Flock.

TFL!
