Mother - OUAS

I created with this sketch at "Once upon a sketch" challenge 
you have only a few days left to enter here is my take. 

The photo I have scrapped has a bit of history, it is a copy of a very old photo of my grandmother with 3 of her young children, the baby she is holding is of my Mother. 
Taken in 1940, my mother was only a few months old.

My grandfather took the original photo with him when he was fighting in WW2.

We don’t have many photographs of the family, so this is so special to all of us.  It is a bit damaged, and you can see the creases in the photo. I must take it to a place where they can retouch it and bring to back to its original details.

 

Journalling reads

“Mother’s hold their children’s

hands for a short while 

but their hearts forever”

With the flourish and tulip corners chipboard I painted with

Gesso and added glossy accents on it.

with the alphas I painted it with white paint,

then stamped a Prima script stamp with light grey ink

and inked the edges with vintage photo distress ink.

The layout is based on a Sketch from the talented

Nadia from the Imaginarium Design Team and also from

the challenge blog ‘Once upon a sketch”.
