GARY

i had a fun day yesterday, making this lo, i used a spoty paper for the background, then i used a big plate to draw around on the back of the black floral paper, cut it out and stuck it down in the centre of the spoty paper, using the plate again i drew around it on to white paper, then drew a circle inside that circle, ( by hand ) making a big circle frame, i cut the frame out with my craft knife & scissors ,then stuck it down over the black paper. i mounted the photo on white card and attached it to the lo. i wrote out some single words on to white paper, drawing a border around them then cutting them out, attached those around the photo. i made the flowers myself using black paper, using a white gel pen i drew a border inside the flowers and coloured the centres of the flowers in. attaching the flowers to the lo with brads. i drew in some twirls around the flowers for added interest. last of all i drew the name gary on the back of the black paper, cut it out then stuck it down at the bottom of the page. i just love this lo.
