How old would you be?

on
What an incredible week it's been over at the PaperArtsy blog - the projects have been fabulous! I haven't had much chance to 'play' this week but I had to have a go at Sara Naumann's technique (more here) as I think it's going to be invaluable! 

I want to make a cover for one of my journals but just can't quite find the right photo yet... Rather than miss playing along I have made a tag and will make the journal front once I finally make a decision! If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them!
The photo I used is from my birthday (a better look at it is here) as I had a spare on my desk! The only change I made from Sara's technique is I added paint to the tissue paper after it was dry and removed the excess with a baby wipe. I looked the effect!
The paint colours I used were London Bus, Beach Hut, Limelight and Snowflake - the mask is one I picked up at PaperArtsy's stand at Ally Pally and is a firm favourite already! 
Thank you for the inspiration Sara and the rest of the DT!

I love it!! I think maybe I'd be .... 30? Long enough ago, not too young (don't want to be really young!) and not as old as I am!!
Have a great day.

27. If anyone asks, and they shouldn't really should they?, then I always think 27 and then have to work it out. Love the colours and the sentiment.
