123 Challenge

This month at 123 Challenge the requirements were

WORD: MAN or MEN
COLOUR: GREY
TECHNIQUE:
use something METAL

I really like grey so was a bit happy by the challenge. Then I came across the paper I used, which I really  liked but wasn't really sure what to do with it. Do I cover up the pattern? Do I scrap beside it? Anyhow, I played around for a little while and this is how it turned out


The photo is of my hubby and his daughter, Nikita, at her year 10 leaver's dinner. She looked beautiful! So grown up! 
I used washi as a background for my photo, a charms creation page runner and I tied a bow from some fabric, and added lots of pearls to the patterned side of the paper. I really didn't want to cover it up, it is quite pretty.
My title is a quote from the movie....yep you guessed it, Grease! I did give credit to 'Frenchy' at the bottom of the page, but a teeny bit has been cropped off.
The grey is obviously the paper I used, the word man is in my title and the metal I used was the heart clip in the corner of the photo, a couple of pins I stuck in the page runner and a brad from Stampin' up!
