I started looking at the man in the house as a bird house. When I thought of it that way, I realized I could add the ribbon I wanted to use and the safety pin could represent the branch it's hanging on. The more I cut, the better I got at angling the ribbon to match the pitch of the house. I originally wanted to use organza ribbon, but found the ribbon with the word "Dream" on it and knew it was what I wanted to use.
Another thing that helped was I folded the page in half (something I won't do when I send the tip-ins to the hostess) and you should be able to see the crease in this latest scan. It gave me a better understanding of how the images will look when mounted in a book. Incidentally, the Saint image is on red rosin paper that was splattered with cranberry color wash and the red on the house and "Ls" is embossing powder.
2 thoughtful remarks:
Looks good..like the changes you've made. It seems to have a more cohesive look now.
I really like how this turned out. I love the colors you choose. I need to take picture yet, but have made a handmade book and lined the cover with some of your homemade paper. Will send pictures soon.
