Christmas Cheer - Colour Stories Inspiration #56

This is the second layout I have done for Colour Stories Inspiration #56

When I was selecting photos for the colour challenge I couldnt choose between the two so I scrapped the one of my grandson playing with my camera for the Scrap it with a Song design team challenge. Find it here

The photograph for my second layout I used is of my son and was taken when he was about 4.  I think the black and white photo really stands out against the colourful background.  He looks so sweet (shame they don't stay that way)

A closer view on some of the details:
I used my Cricut to cut these letter tags out.

I made a little envelope out of vellum

Evidence:  Dashed Lines, String, Dangle Something
Testimony: Translucent Story Holder

I used the following products for this layout:

MME - So Sophie - Anything for You - Reliable Red Paper

Windsor & Newton  - Gesso

Quick Quotes - Clips & Tags - Irresistable - Cherish Tag

Range Ink - Jet Black

Tsuikineko - Dew Drop - Brilliance Ink Pad - Pearlescent Sky Blue

Vellum
