10 Year Anniversary-San Fancisco





Everything is Basic Grey with the exception of the flowers (Bazzill) and the ink which is Ranger Distress Ink in Aged Mahogany and my own shimmery mist which has alcohol inks mixed with CTMH re-inker (I've forgotten the exact colors now), alcohol, pearl-ex and water.

Even though this isn't a great picture of us, I still love it because it is the only one of us together during our 10-year anniversary trip to San Francisco!  We were standing on the grounds of Coit Tower.  In the background, you can see the Ferry Building and the Oakland Bay Bridge.  I made this layout based on Sketchy Thursday's 7-29-2010 great sketch! It also fit's Denise's challenge over at Sketches For All to use ink 2 ways (inked the edges of the paper and misted using my own hand-made shimmery mist). It's funny,  EBTKS has a button challenge this week, too.
A note about the supplies! My new blog friend Stacy H-W sent me most of the supplies that I used on this in a totally surprise RAK just to help me get my MOJO back! That was so great!

  1. Beautiful layout Kelly. Love the touches of pink. You did a great job with the misting. I'm still a rookie when it comes to misting. How do you keep your paper from curling? That is my biggest problem.
