Here is my take on this challenge!!

I used heavy Liquitex gesso and masked a few different stencils on the background paper which had script writing on it. Its a UHK paper from the collection Dear. Mr. Watson.

All my embellishments are black and white to mimic the mood board and I used strong patterns for the stencil to mimic the strong patterns on the mood board.

Above you can see the black La Tiza flower from Prima which is from the new collections from Summer CHA.

I decided to add a red title to make it really stand out as a message for my son to always be himself no matter what!!

Materials:

Papers: UHK

Liquitex: Heavy gesso
