While editing my photos from the Anzac Day parade last year, I came across this photo of the crowd and spotted my husband right down the back. What are the chances of that?!? He said that I had an unfair advantage - his bald head makes him distinctive. I think he might be right! The background on the layout was done by sponging some gesso through a stencil made from the Graceful Lattice die and then stamping over it with various stamps and inks. In order to tie in with the Anzac Day theme, I fashioned a poppy using the Blooms Three die.
