I have to make a quick post this time, because things are a little bit crazy tonight !!! Nothing to worry about, just a LOT of things that have to be done!! Ok....so here is my project, one more canvas to give to my mother from her school days. I used the theme and sketch from
Once Upon A Sketch for this creation and tried to keep it as simple as I could, because I wanted to challenge myself by not using too many colours and embelishments. It was fun !!!
With my canvas I'll also enter another challenge over at
Scrap Africa , where we must use a
"Chipboard with a Difference". I inked with black ink and stamped my chipboard with white acrylic colour to give it a distressed look.
 |
| I just wanted to make my background match the colours of the photo, but maybe they came out a bit darker than I wanted... |
 |
| Here is my altered chipboard from 7 Dots Studio "Nature walk ", the stickers and tag are also from the same collection. |
 |
| My journaling hidden at a tag behind the photo |
 |
| ...and this is my mother laughing her heart out !!! |

| ...and the sketch |
