Board book ~ Boy page...pre completion

This was the page that stumped me...I changed it so many times, adding different elements to that big open space you see on the right...in the end I adhered a phrase that was printed on vellum, I tore the edges and inked it with some dirty brown ink...so simple a solution and just right :)
...and why am I publishing unfinished pages instead of the completed project??? Teasers!!!
