Mum and Dad

This photo of my Mum and Dad was taken in July 1943 when my Mum was 22 and Dad 24 and he was obviously on leave from the army.  We always thought Mums' hat was funny and she always maintained that she couldn't remember it!!!
I used a real doily that I soaked in tea to get a softer colour and I made the frame from chipboard which I embossed and then spent all day trying to get the colour right with paints and mists!!!

 

I used the sketch from Scrapology....and the extra criteria was to use a poem.  I opted for a poem by Patience Strong as she was a favourite of Mum!!

 

The challenge at Scrapology closes on the 5th May so loads of time to enter!!!
