May- Kraft It Up

Happy Mothers Day to all the Mothers. 

I hope your day is special in some small way. 

Being Mothers Day, I thought this was an appropriate layout to share. A very special Mother 

to five children and seventeen grandchildren.

I've Scrapped a lovely picture of my late, dear Grandmother as a pretty young woman.

This is my layout for Kraft It Up for the month of May.

May is the month of VINTAGE at Kraft It Up!!!!

I guess this is as vintage as I could make it.  I'm calling it 'vintage with a modern, minimalist (for me) twist.' 

I used some techniques and embellishments from the Finnabair class I attended in March.

 I used a crafters workshop stencil and texture paste. Then added colour with distress inks and Artists Pigments by LuminArte - love the gorgeous rich colours you get with these pigments.

I added the lace and plenty of distressing to add to the vintage feel of the layout.

The mostly metal emballishments, are coloured with acrylic paints and more of the LuminArte pigments.

Thank you all for stopping by my blog.
