Pagerize Helena by Joni

Design Team Member Joni submitted this layout for the Pagerize This Challenge # 8.  She said: 

I really liked the "feel" of Helena's layout, so I also used some paper that was solid, but distressed (Basic Grey).  I also liked the background stamp concept, so I used that and then added some doodles to the stamped image to match my photo.  I also wanted to keep the "grungy" feel I was headed for, so I framed the area with a metal chain (I stitched it on using clear nylon string....that took a long time).  I hung a couple embellishments from the chain to add interest.


This was my son allowing me to use his back as my canvas to practice my first attempt at a henna tattoo!

  7. I love your take! I think the time it took to stitch the chain on was well worth it. It's a perfect compliment to the tone of your page!
