"Forever" - Monochromatic Mixed Media Layout

Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone's year has started out well.

To begin 2017, I decided to do a monochromatic mixed media layout titled "Forever".  My dad "contracted" me to make this present for some friends of the family, so I put the final layout in a white shadow box. The colors in their house match the 13@rts Aura Rosa collection papers, so a I used the "Spring Flowers" paper for my background.

I seriously used every single acrylic medium I own for this project with some acrylic paints... Unfortunately, I have some sort of allergy to acrylic paints and mediums. I have tried different brands... generic and expensive name brands... and my allergy to the media becomes very hard to handle! LOL

Here are some details and close-ups:
