Getting To The Root Of It

This is for the sketch challenge for 2/26 at http://www.stuckonusketches.blogspot.com/ by Aymee Gandy. This is one of my all time favorite pictures of my son when he was younger. He was wearing the cutest little 501 levi's and had one of my gardening tools in his hand. He is grown now and currently maintains the grounds for a University--who knew! The blue jean paper and multi-colored squares paper came from a pack I bought last week on clearance for $1.99(K & Co. 36 double-sided)! I use scrapbook.com for a lot of my titles and found this one fit my picture perfectly. I wanted a few more elements representing my picture than the sketch called for so I added the sun, the cute garden tools and grass border. close-up of the butterflies that were pop dotted. I love the way these turned out with the multi-colored paper!
I curled the garden tools and the grass border was pop dotted in random spots for added dimension.
