I had to use pictures of immediate family for my scrapbook pages, so I had warned my sister her face would probably be prominently be displayed at convention this year! What can I say - she's just so darn photogenic!
I used the circle from the Just Believe set to make a border by stamping it alternately in Certainly Celery and Old Olive, and I added pearls at the jonction of each circle. I layered the border on Olive striped grosgrain ribbon. The picture was matted with patterned paper from the Island Oasis DSP pack.
On the bottom, I used some Basic Black cardstock that I sprayed with some shimmer mist. It's too bad that the camera doesn't pick up the shimmer - it's quite lovely IRL. Then, I stamped the frame from the set in Versamark and embossed it with black powder and added a bit of journaling with my white gel pen.
The title was created using the second frame from the stamp set, and I stamped the names with the Just Perfect Alphabet and added the ampersand from the Go Go Alphabet die set. What I did is that I die-cut the ampersand and used it as a mask. Then I sponged some White Frosty shimmer paint all over my cardstock, then took off the mask and used a marker to trace the outline of the ampersand so that it would show up better.
