Marriage and age

Gooooooooooooood Evening!

Here is my page for the latest Craft Barn challenge this time the words are marriage or age. Well I thought there must be a good rhyme about marriage but I searched for ages and couldn't find anything I liked, until eventually I found the poem The Chaos by Charivarius aka Gerard Nolst Trenite which is all about the nuances of the pronunciation in the English language - which is perfect because I'm always on about stuff like that and it contained both marriage and age!

To create my page I used a background of distress stains, then I printed off the poem and distress stained that as well and folded it a bit and stuck it down so that you can just see a portion of it. Then I used black soot distress ink through a stencil, then I used a fluorescent pink gel pen to write the words, title and also used that a little through the same stencil. Finally I covered most of the page with Paper Artsy metallic glaze.
