The Last Goodbye- Scrap Around The World March Challenge


Welcome back to Scrap Around The World Challenge ELEVEN, 
hosted by Design Team member Alexandra Polyzou
  Γειά σας from Greece!


Feel free to interpret Alexandra's mood board in any way you like,
 using one image, several of them, all of them or even just 
one aspect of an image, using ANY COLOURS!



HERE IS MY INTERPRETATION OF THE MOOD BOARD:


This is photo of my mom's hand holding my grandmother's hand on her last moments. Its a very special picture for my mom and she asked me if I could scrap it and frame it for her and so here it is.


I've used of course all my favourite products: Prima flowers and embellishments, Shimmerz paints and sprays and Blue Fern Studios chipboard


For Shimmerz I used: Sunny, Pink and Art Pop Pink. You can find all these colours in the Shimmerz Store and if you mention my name during checkout you will receive a free product.


You can see the texture and ink in the photo below using Shimmerz in the background and on the Blue Fern Chipboard: Charmed page dangles and Shabby Layered Frame.




Products:
White Card Stock: Coordinations
Prima flowers and Resins
Stencils: Prima and Heidi Swapp
Shimmerz paints
Blue Fern Studios chipboard
Farber Castell water color pencil
Golden Light Molding paste
Alpha Prima

A reminder about our  DESIGN TEAM CALL - click HERE for further details.
  I am not wanting a team with dozens of people.  I know that is "de rigueur"
 at the moment but I love a manageable group of people that can get to know 
each other & feel like an integral & indispensable part of something special 
so I'm being very selective & already have my shortlist.
