Hello,
another fabulous challenge at CSI this week.......cool colours and fantastic co-ordinates...how could I resist?
I found a photo of my Nana and Grandad taken in the 50's or 60's (the dinner dancing decades!) and although the quality leaves a lot to be desired I love it!! I was always playing with my Nana's copious amount of jewellery, sitting for hours in front of her big dressing table, pretending to be a lady.... happy days :0)
 |
| I painted 2 shades of grey Liquid Pearls onto the background and splatted gently with black ink. |
 |
| Glitz grey letters and word cut on Silhouette. I printed the co-ordinates onto paper, vellum and acetate and then cut them into semi circles. |
 |
| The journaling is folded and tucked into the stapled tag. |
 |
| I thought I would try a different angle so that you could see the pearl paint....hmmm, maybe not! |

| Shame you can't really see the acetate but it does look really pretty in real life :0) |
Thanks so much for popping in, hop on over to
CSI and have a play :0)

Ali this is gorgeous! I have to say my fav out of all that you have created!!! Love the pop of red with the word beautiful - so elegant! This brought back memories of my grandmother and how I also use to admire her jewelry. It was always costume jewelry, but as a child I though it was the grandest!! I've got a few of her special pieces tucked away in my jewelry box. Thanks for sharing your layout and bringing some memories!

Hiya Ali...LOVE this - the colours are so chic, which sounds just like your Grandma...she certainly looks it! And using the liquid pearls like that is so clever!
