I colored him up with Spectrum Noir Markers. I used designer paper from a 6 x 6 paper pad (I know usually use my papers and they will make an appearance during the hop!) I inked the image I cut around as I had colored around the image with a light brown to blend in with the paper. I typed up his date of birth and death, so young only 40 years old when he died! And such a tragic life! I used tea dye shimmer spray to spray a background strip of cardstock and to ink around the dates. I used some black flowers scattered with gold flakes as an embellishment. I tied all the pages together with a gold cord.
Hope you are entering and hopping along leaving lots of love for everyone!
Thanks for stopping by!
