33 - What mountains...

I'm not a great fan of reds and blues but wanted to give it a try this week and I ended up loving the end result.
My colors are a little bit more muted than the actual color scheme.

This is how I cracked the case:

I sprayed the background with gesso and added paint (liquid medium) with stencils, stamps and through spillage (behind the photos). I attached the journaling strips with staples (metal)

My journaling says:

"What mountains you will climb, what joys you will have, I know there will be tears and struggle as well. But my prayer is that you will grow into the man you're meant to be."

I love this take on the case - the background work is brilliant and the three b/w photos work so well with these colours - fab page!

awesome page love that alpha masking! The machine stitching also adds great texture. I think you have done well for someone who is not a fan of reds and blues :)
