At Gateway there is an indoor fountain that does little dances & shoots up to hit the extremely high-ceiling at various random intervals. When we first arrived 5 years ago Reilly used to love to sit at the edge & watch & wait for it to shoot up!
Supplies:- Basic Grey {Oh Baby! Blue Bonnet} Bazzill scalloped-cardstock - kiwi. Bazzill cardstock - teal. Striped paper - Scenic Route. Blue glitter alphas - Pink Paislee Green glitter alphas - American Crafts Thickers. Pom-pom tape & green die-cut tendrils courtesy of Vicki in New Zealand, sage braid - Prima. Flower - Petaloos, Metal embellishment - Making Memories. Navy blue journal pen - Creative Memories. Good Times & Floral Embellishment - locally sourced no-name brand! Green inks - Colour Box chalk {12 brands}.
I hand-drew the water swirls onto teal cardstock before cutting them out & then inking them with lime-green ink. The dots & water-droplets are from the Pink Paislee alpha sheet {full stops & commas}.
As this was all about water I thought the sparkly lettering, etc was appropriate.
Still hand-journaling & stapling on a lot of the ribbons, etc used on my boy pages.
It all gets a bit pretty down the bottom there but just look at that little boy! He was only seven & very sweet & pretty himself ;-D
