Welcome to our Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop for May 2021! Our lovely Delys has set the challenge this month and challenge it was for me! 
I didn’t have a clue where to start except I wanted to use these recent pictures from last month when I was able to visit my Grandchildren after another lock down. One evening last week I was a bit upset after watching the international news and seeing what so many people are dealing with so I retreated to my craft desk. I basically shut down and allowed this page to emerge and concentrated on happy thoughts and memories. I used some shimmery white embossing paste with a decorative mask to reflect the patterns the children were making by pressing their faces into the mesh raquets. I built up the rest of the background by inking with blending brushes through decorative masks and stamps. once the embossing paste was dry I put the mask back over the dots and used my blending brushes to add some ink to colour the dots.

I hope you like what I have done here.

Love the coloured shimmery embossed dots! What a beautiful way to ‘escape’ from stresses to go to your craft table!! Love it. And your photos are so cute!
Perfect way to escape the pressures of the day! Blending color onto your embossing paste was a great idea that left it with nice soft color.
Suh a fun layout. I’ve not used embossing paste yet and really like how yours turned out. Very creative!
