Angel Baby

So I've been playing around with some Tim Holtz products, and I found that with grungeboard, distress ink, and perfect pearls, I can make these beautiful wings. And voila! Inspiration struck! Isn't it cool when that happens? I was also inspired by this Basic Grey paper that I picked up (on sale, love that!) at the LSS on my little summer holiday. I decided to turn my baby into an angel/cupid/cherub/whatever, and found some cool embellishments to go along with it. The image is from the Graphics Fairy (very cool site, tons of vintage images of whatever you want!) and I have a button up top that you can't see very well, but it goes perfectly. The diagonal paper journaling strips and ribbon I dyed with distress inks. Plus because I used cardboard, circles, and journaling, I can enter the recipe challenge at The Pink Elephant this week. This layout is also based (quite loosely!) on a sketch at Design Dollies. Thanks for looking, and make sure you check out my blog candy! Only 5 days left to enter!
