Scrap the Boys- August

Augusts' challenge at scrap the boys is to use your 

childs' artwork on a page.

I've used a Self-Portrait by one of my boys. 

I think he did a pretty good job, can you see a likeness. :)

It's actually on a 12x14 sheet of paper so I wasn't sure at first 

how I was going to incorporate it onto the page, especially considering it was larger 

than my page!!!

I didn't want to cut it up so instead I stuck it down over about 2/3 of my white cardstock and then on the other 1/3 I used paint and stencils to continue the colour and basic design my son had used on the background of his self-portrait. 

I then folded the excess part of the painting behind the 12x12 cardstock.

Here's a picture of the layout with the painting completely unfolded.

And a close-up showing the seam where the two edges meet.

thanks for looking. :)
