Kraft + Tassle Time - August Challenge

http://kraftpluschallenges.blogspot.com.au/2016/08/august-challenge-tassel-time.html


I couldn't help but use this photo of my mum....

Such Pretty Tears...



I love this photo of her - even if she does not look happy!  I imagine her costume looked just adorable on her... in full colour...  and unfortunately she can't remember what colour it was - she did point out to me that it was 80 years ago!!! lol
I think the reason is that she didn't like it!
She was not happy, and was sulking - 
she just wanted to be a fairy!!!




She also said that Grandma had the photo in a frame which was kept on the mantlepiece.  I wonder if it made Grandma smile - or grimace! lol

I gessoed the bottom part of the Kraft and sprayed some gorgeous Lindy's spray in Witches Potion Purple, so it would drip... (like tears). Still in the background, I used Tim Holtz's beautiful Flourish stencil with Colour Blast Colour Paste in Royalty.... 
yummy stuff!
I added a pretty Blue Fern Frame, a couple of flowers, gems and pearls - and of course the tassles!  Th German Scrap border strip with the tassles was a lucky find - in the shop!!! I had to add the 'fairy dust' (Prima Art Sugar) and the Prima stamp around the edges which says.... 'just a sprinkle of fairy dust'. hehe

Thanks to Kraft + for a great opportunity to use this precious photo!

Cheers, Vicki

Love. Laugh. Scrap. Shop.

  7. Your Mom is so cute even though she was sulking, lol. I wonder how long she put the costume on? I am also impressed with your great grandmother for her sewing skill; that's a gorgeous costume! Your layout is really beautiful Vicki. I love your handwritten journal and the drops of purple paint. Nice! Hugs xx
