Layout by Riikka Kovasin

This layout is done to celebrate a friendship. The photo is of me, but the journaling talks about a dear friend. She’s such a sweetheart! I can’t imagine I’ve not done many, many layouts about her already!
I started the page with some gesso to hide the number pattern a little. Then I added some mist on top and used a brush to make the look paint-like. On top I then added a stencilled pattern using ink and also some stamping.
The main elements in the layers underneath the photo are tags from two collections. They also allowed me to add the twine going across the page. Embellishments include some stickers, a flair button, a few sparkling crystals and two paperclips.
