Done

Compared to my last couple layouts, this one is rather stark, but I had a great time putting it together.  It's for Pretty Little Studio's current sketch challenge. 

This was a photo I 'rescued'.  When I took it, it came out really dark, but I played with the brightness/contrast a little and this is what I got.  I really like the kind of halo/glow effect around Carina, and the expression on her face. 

I took it much less literally than I usually do.  I used my new Mama Elephant Trifecta stamp set (I think this is going to be one of my favorites), and a blend of stamping and pieced triangles to add some color/pattern.  The title was cut using the Cricut Artiste cartridge.  I also inked the edges of my photo....something I don't normally do, but especially with all the white on this layout, I think it makes the photo pop.

Have a great end to your weekend!
