Today I am sharing a page I made with a photo of my great grandmother. I remember her very well as she didn’t die until I was in my mid teens. My page base is 12″ x 12″ Whisper White and I used the Decorative Masks to add the medallion using Blueberry Bushell ink. I punched a length of Blackberry Bliss card using the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch and attached it behind one long edge of a piece of the gorgeous Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper. I added a Blackberry Bliss mat to my photo before attaching to the page. I stamped the large open flower from the Floral Essence stamp set twice onto Whisper White card using Blackberry Bliss ink. I also stamped the open leaf image four times onto Whisper White card using Old Olive ink. I used my Aqua Painter to move the ink on the flowers and the leaves, to add colour. I hand cut the full flower and then a partial flower. I also cut out the leaves. I attached the smaller flower on top of the large flower using a dimensional. I attached the leaves to the back of the flower before attaching to the page, slightly covering the photo. I coloured a Clear Faceted Gem with the Dark Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blend before attaching it to the centre of the flower. I cut the title from Blackberry Bliss card using the retired Little Letters Dies. I printed my journaling onto Whisper White card and cut it into strips. The journaling is attached to Blackberry Bliss card and then the page. I have one piece of information missing. I don’t know the exact date of my Great Grandmother’s death, so I need to talk with my Dad and Mum before adding that final touch. I am really enjoying scrapping these photos and getting them into my Family Memory Album. I hope they are inspiring you to do the same.
Bye for now,
Kris
