White with 1 - April 2015
Entry by Angela Bolton
We lost our dear friend Barney this week so I have dedicated this challenge entry
to this beautiful fellow. Sadly missed but never forgotten.
Barney was a rescue dog through SA Dog Rescue we didn't really know who old he was but our best guess was between 8 and 10 so it was a bit of a shock when he got so sick so quickly.
I started by ripping a section out of my white cardstock. I wanted to represent our breaking hearts. Then I backed that with corrugated cardboard. I knew I wanted lots and lots of rough texture on this page because our Barney was a course haired dog, known by some as scruffy bum!
I used antique linen and brushed corduroy distress ink to darken up the edges and Prima spray to add some droplets onto my white. I also stamped a small leaf stamp across the page in the same two distress colours. I then mounted this onto another sand coloured card.
I mounted Barneys photo onto corkboard and dry brushed the edges with white gesso. I diecut a fancy frame and cut this up to give it a lace edge in white. I then took a piece of white card stock and wrapped it in hessian ribbon and added sand lace to each end. This then became a base for the photo.
I used a range of sand coloured paper pieces and a tag poking out from under the photo mat to create some interest. I also used some hessian, jute string wrapped around a strip of corrugated card and white cardstock punched with an edge punch. I die cut some flourishes and hearts from white glitter cardstock and then used a range of flowers, metal cogs and my glitter embellishments to decorate around the photo.
I stamped my sentiment 'Memories of you' and mounted it on corkboard. And used Amy Tangerine Thickers in a sand colour to add the title at the top. I also added highlights with a white paint pen.
I was pleased with how it turned out. A really pretty page but with Barneys beautiful face
still being the hero of the piece. xoxoxoxo
Hope you like it.
Cheers Angela
