Karen's Desert Island Discs CJ - by Sherry

This is my contribution to Karen's Desert Island Discs CJ.

The song I chose was by Emerson Lake and Palmer - 'Cest La Vie'.

I hadn't heard this song before but took inspiration for the page

from the first verse of the song

"Have your leaves all turned to brown

Will you scatter them around you" 

I used my Gelli plate and the page went through various stages

before I was finally satisfied with it.

 The little folder on the front has a button closure and opens

up to reveal a rubber stamped image of 'gratitude' and

an umbrella with little hearts raining down on it.

I thought this appropriate for Karen's reason for choosing this song.

Hope it's OK for you Karen.

I took a deep breath and added to other contributors' pages ....

To Sian's page - Bird Gerhl

I added a little metallic rub on paste to the bottom left hand corner -

to further highlight the embossing.

To Pat Beaumont's page - Sweet Child of Mine

I didn't add to as it was so full already.

To Karen's own page - Ave Maria

I added some metallic rub on paste to the door.

(I must just say that I think this page is really beautiful).

To Virginia's page - Purple Rain

I added some clear embossing to the purple raindrops.

Finally, to Donna's page - The Final Cut

I added a little varnish around the eyes to

highlight the tears.
