It's the turn of Design Team A this week to share with you our takes on the challenge sketch at Let's Scrap.
Here is the Sketch to follow :
I have been a tad adventurous and once again attempted a layout to share with you! You all know me as a cardmaker, and for that making a LO is a S-T-R-E-T-C-H!
so here is my second ever LO:
The base of my LO is Core'dinations and the printed is an offcut (my apologies for not knowing better to keep the name :)
The photographs are of my mom and her two besties, on vacation again! LOL! These three gals do get around!!! (My mom is the one with the dark glasses, as she had just had cataract surgery in the week that she went went away)
As embellishmnts along the base of my LO, I used fussy cut parts of the printed DP, matted onto cream CS and added a pearl bead flower on each.
The embellishments along the top of my LO are punched serrated circles usisng the printed DP, self adhesive pearls nd hand-sewn on sequins (although they photographed gold, they are actually a salmon pink/creamy colour). The punched circles also have a pearl bead flower centre. The picture below will give you a closer look, as well as of the punched flower border and the die cut swirls:
As the photograph was a little small to fit the sketch properly, to enlarge it and fill up the 'space, I used the negative of a die cut as the frame with little pearls in the corners, and matted it all onto the blue CS.
The three pearlised hearts symbolise the love these three ladies have for one another - they stand by each other through thick and thin, and I think they are closer than sisters!
(You go, girls!!! Tannie Cielie and Tannie Naomi - may God bless you forever for the love and friendship you give to my mom! You girls are the bestest!
