Do you know the feeling when you start out with a vague idea for a layout. And then your project takes on a life of its own and ends up looking nothing like you originally planned?? Well this is such a layout and I absolutely love it!

I first started playing with my little gel press and distress oxide colours, trying to create ombre backgrounds for a multi photo page. Then the postie arrived with my new Visible Image stamp set and I added the jumping lady stamp to the mix. Then my printer ran out of ink and messed up my sheet of selected photos. But I liked the look of one particular photo so much that I applied some filters to it before installing new cartridges and printing it again. And then I went crazy with colour, stamping, die cutting, embossing, stencilling .......(Note to self: breathe!)

I had a blast, especially using the gel press. A nifty little tool that I simply do not use enough. That will change after this project! I already have some ideas for cards.

I also added 3 repurposed items: the red circle was cut from the acetate cover of VB's MM foundation paper. The small piece of card with the grey printed words was the insert of a Kaisercraft Rhinestone packet. And lastly, part of the subtitle (Bring On The Beers) is the actual title of one of Visible Image's stamp sets, cut from the card backing.
