'Forever....('til death do us part)...a new layout for 13 arts

Hi friends, I hope you are all doing well and relaxing, still enjoying the holidays:)

I've been playing with the 'His & Hers' 13 arts collection again, and I was inspired by the 

rich, warm tones in these papers, especially the deep reds, and I was moved to create something

dark and mysterious.

'Forever....('til death do us part)'

I carefully tore up and fussy cut a piece of the paper 'A Piece of Her' so that I had a nice long strip of those beautiful red roses which I glued down the middle. I also glued down the other piece of that same paper I had tore and I love how it made an interesting way to layer the papers up and let that beautiful dark butterfly paper show through.

I created my background by covering the whole page with 13 arts clear gesso to seal the paper and then I used some Rainbow Watercolor Duo in brown and some 13 arts ink in 'Woodbine' to add some color. Then I layered on a few pieces of antique black lace, some Prima flowers, and some little pinecones.

I had been seeing some different girls work with some really cool what looked like

threads? and I finally figured out what it is! It's called 'sisal' and after looking in several

craft stores I finally found a big bag in the floral section of Hobby Lobby. I added some to my 

page and I love the look it gave, I might try to spray some with black ink too :)
