Yesterday and Today Layout

Our layout this week was to focus on combining two stories to create a third. One of the examples was riding a bike as a child and riding bikes as an adult. I decided to do one about my Mother and I being first born daughters and sisters to younger brothers. Funny thing is until I saw the two photos I never made the connect that my Mom and I were both sisters to younger brothers.

The journaling template was done by Ali Edwards who is teaching the class. I initally had everything in shades of yellow and then I found the pale orange botanical paper and ended up going with greens. For the transparency, I used copic markers to color a plant then decided I really didn't like that look so I reached for some green acrylic paint. Once it dried I added veins with a black micro marker.

This was one of those projects were I had a definite idea of how I wanted it to look when I started and by the time I was done I'd jumped the track. I like the way it turned out and the more I look at it, the more I really like the transparency.
