This is the first swap page for a CJ swap I am in, where we don't actually send the books but just make the pages and send them out individually. This means I could actually join the group as CJ's tend to take so long to complete and I never know where I will be and have always feared losing someone's prescious book. This page is for lou@papermaker and her chosen theme was silhouettes and songs.
I chose an old favourite by Harry Nilsson song from 1967 - 'One is the loneliest number' and used my Tim Holtz umbrella man as the silhouette as he always gives me a feeling of sadness, I am not sure why. I used coffee to make the paper have the distressed appearance, stamped the background with faded writing and then swiped Gel Medium and a dash of gold paint over the surface which gives it a lovely gold wash effect. I added some 'rain drops' with Glossy Accents to the umbrella man.
Hope Lou likes it...
