Let Love Be Your Teacher

This is a layout that I have been working on for what seem like a very long time. This LO was one that I started painting the background then stopped-starting several new projects. Well, today I decided it was time to finish. I will start with explaining the technique. I used Mod Podge to create the background then used a stick to dig into the Mod Podge leaving an impression. I then inked, painted, masked and dry brushed the background. I next added some torn paper (red). Added the pictures and then started rubberstamping like crazy. Next I started masking the hands. Then added the stickers, rub on, and transparencies then title. The journaling is on my husband's shirt and well as in the right hand bottom corner. The journaling reads: I am married to a great husband; you know the type, funny, solid-rock-steady with warm eyes, and the sweetness in his kiss you long for when he is gone. I am still amazed after 11 years, how he still takes my breath away when I see him across a crowded room, at the ache in my stomach when I hear his voice on the telephone, when he is miles away. In addition the definition of love is included in the journaling.
