To create this project, I started by creating a mixed media background on a neutral 12x12 paper from Tim Holtz's French Market collection. I layered splats of teal, Caribbean blue, and pink. Next, I wet metallic Gelatos in blue and pink, and tapped the very damp brush with my pointer finger, leaving dimensional dots of color behind.
My next step was to stencil the chevrons using a damp sponge and black Ranger Archival Ink. When that layer dried, I stamped the crackled background . On top of that, I added a layer of stenciled stars and circles, using punchinella. The painted edges are just using the last bits of paint that remained. 
When all of my background had dried, I placed my photo (which I cut into
two parts) on the page, to determine where I would eventually adhere
it. Next, I layered up my papers and washi tape, moving from the left
middle top, to the bottom.
When the papers were laid down, I added the large circles, using Sakura Micron Pens and watered down black ink. All other circles were created using paint and a toilet paper roll, OR that fabulous Coffee Ring Stain stamp!.
Next up was to add the stamping to the page. I stamped the Eyes Looking Left stamp onto an old library card, and cut them out, inking the edges. I thought it was cool how they sort of echo my daughter's eyes looking right.
I stamped several images (including the Be Adorable stamp) either on the library card, or onto patterned paper, using Momento ink in Tuxedo Black. I adhered them using Miracle Tape. The rest was all embellishment gravy.
Thanks so much for having a look at my project for today, I had so much fun creating it! I hope you're inspired to grab your stamps and ink and start creating too! If you can dream it, you can do it (or be it)!
