Here is my layout for the "E" Challenge at Colorful Creations. My wonderful friend Marci challenged us to use flourishes and punches for the embellishments this month. I had so much fun with this challenge, and it is open to any and all to participate, so we would love to see you join along!

This is a photo of my daughters Payton and Austinie (Payton is the taller, even though 5 years younger and they both love to be photographed!)

I used two different Martha Stewart punches for the borders and swags.

I used a stencil template and texture paste for the background and did a lot of fussy cutting and then washed the cut outs with high gloss Mod Podge to give them a more saturated look and to firm the paper up a bit.

The flourish was painted and then stamped and embossed.

Thank you for stopping by to take a peek!

Have a fantastic day :)
