I didn't think I would get time to join in any challenges this month, but a rainy Good Friday and this one came together quite quickly.
The challenge over at Scrap Africa is this lovely sketch
and my take
Timeless
I found this photo in my Mum's photo album , unfortunately I have no idea who they are. There is a letter written on the back , but the photo had been cut down and I can't make any sense of it. The photo fitted the chippy frame perfectly and I have had the paper from a mag for ages , so it all worked perfectly. I love the fashion of this time, the woman always looked so elegant.
I decided to keep most of the chippy raw apart from brushing some gesso over the vine chippy and using embossing powder on the butterflies. The fencing wire chippy is by 2Crafty I also decided to do the layout in the A4 size.
I am loving the gorgeous butterflies from Imaginarium Designs, which I carefully peel the layers to give dimension.
The timeless word chippy is from Scrapmatts, I love these .
Thank you for calling by and I hope you get a chance to join in the challenge and I would recommend popping over and checking out the DT layouts, they are always inspiring.
Love , Peace and Happiness
