Mom and 75 Cents

I have very few photos of my mom, as she really HATED having her picture taken, even when she was younger, so I wanted to really showcase this photo of her at the age of 19, and the lovely Kaisercraft 75 Cents papers seemed perfect for it.


The butterflies on the paper  were just begging to be fussy cut and popped up with foam tape; I just inked, distressed and layered the papers, and added a bit of punchwork and Prima wooden buttons. The hexagonal window is Maya Road, painted with black acrylic paint and drybrushed with a little blue-green paint for an aged look.

Thanks for stopping by!
