This is what the background looked like before.
Then here it is after I went to work. I chose blue and greens because the chair my mom is sitting on has blue and green in it. After I used the mini mister to allow the ink to blend and travel I dried it using my heat gun and then iron it flat with an iron on a low setting.
Completed page
This is an altered prima flower. The flowers were oringally white, but that didn't work with what I was doing so I took my ink pad smeared it on my non stick craft mat. Used my mini mister to get the ink to bead up then put the flower in face down. I then dried it with my heat gun and repeated the process until the color was where I liked it. I then stamped in black soot ink a design from a stamp set. Added a brad and done.
And lastly this is what I enjoy most about my scrapbook room. It is a place were my pets (most oftenly the cats) come to relax with me. When I completed the page I looked to the window where Raven had been sleeping most of the morning and I found him and Kricket curled up together cuddling. It brought a smile to my lips. Pin It Now!
