The November SIDsketch was a little out of my comfort zone.
I preder to use paper to make up my backgrounds, but this sketch called for a little mixed media.
I originally started with a kit from Anguree Jase van Rensburg,
but eventually changed it into a double.
My brother-in-law's father passed away just over a month ago and his mom passed a year ago.
He doesn't have many photos of his parents, so I thought I would make him something special.
The title FAMILIE VIR ALTYD EN EWIG (Family always and forever) I just painted with smooch.
The gears were sptized with distress sprays and then embossed lightly.
I added in some afrikaans words - herinneringe (memories) and spesiale tye (special times).
The cotton swabs were also sprayed with distress spray stains, and then streatched behind the photos.
His mother loved to crochet, so added in this crocheted doily for her.
His dad was a hands on type of man, so I added the gears to represent him.

Thanks for popping by.
Happy Scrapping
