Birthday Girl

September challenge at White With 1 is a bit of a challenge for me, as I normally don't use much pink (or my boys won't like my layouts...LOL), and marshmallow is not one of my fav colors to work with,  but a challenge is  a challenge, and I just love challenges!

I also challenged myself to make a mixed media background but a pastel and stuble one, so here's what I made for this challenge, with a photo of me, on my 4th birthday:

For my lo, I used lots of stencils with modeling paste, punches, dies, mist and peral pen. I really love how soft and subtle is the background, and I also love the texture of it.
Here are some close-ups on the details:
