I made this layout based on the following sketch from Creative Scrappers:
I used Basic Grey papers, 7 Gypsies tags, and my Cricut for the stars. Lots of Color Wash and Distress Inks from Ranger. The dark red border edges are the remnants from pages torn from a watercolor pad, spritzed heavily with Cranberry Color Wash. I also painted over all the tags and scraps with watered down Color Washes.
Thanks for the visit. I hope you have a great weekend!
Marjie

You use bold colours so effectively and you always add that Marjie grungy touch.
A wonderful layout and makes me wish I were in NYC.
