Beautiful Untouched (Mixed Media Tutorial)

This layout featuring my Mother is published in this month's Scrapbooking.com on line monthly magazine.  I made this layout around St. Patrick's Day as my Mom has family from Ireland and her favorite color (like mine) is green. I loved this picture of her, which is "untouched" as I thought she looked absolutely beautiful with no makeup and the wind blowing through her hair. 

For the top border, I  mixed modeling paste with a touch of acrylic paint.
I then spread it over the Tim Holtz mask adhered to a dark green background. 
and carefully lifted the mask from the paper.
When the paste was dry, I cut around the best impressions.
I stamped onto the dried paste with a darker turquoise color.  

I pieced together several cuttings for my finished product.

Stefan Harlen, editor of Scrapbooking.com has monthly submission calls and looks for new talent.  It's fun to be published.
