Memories of Mom with Gina's Designs

 Hello everyone!

Today I would like to share something very special to me,that I created using Gina's Design pieces. This past Saturday the 19th was my Mom's birthday,she would have been 84. 

In honor of my Mom,I created this wall hanging.
Using some of my favorite photos of my Mom,I combined these with some of my favorite pieces from Gina's Designs.

 Read along as I share some photos and a few steps of my process.

This first photo is to show you a bit of how I work.

I had the general vision of what I wanted,but not sure of what elements I would use,hence the assorted Gina's pieces,auditioned on and off and up and down,for about an hour before I finally(I use that word lightly)decided! ")

For the substrate,three pages of a book form I had on hand,(yes,Shel,on hand-lol) 
were gessoed,then painted with ColourArte ~Chestnut Brown.

While the paint was still slightly wet,I added Distress Clear Rock Candy Crackle

After the crackle was dry I painted the French Lilac on,waited a minute then wiped it off.

I love the Lilac with the brown!

After these were dry,they were glued together.

 

 Next up,was painting the

 Flourished Frames Set-Evie(I used all three) 

I gave these a layer of crackle as well. 

The colors I used here were French Lilac & Wine And Roses

oops about the extra bits-darn macro shows everything!


The ColourArte colors I used,
 to paint these beautiful feathers were

Sea Spray,French Lilac,

Teal Zircon,Stargazer,Key Lime 

Gina's Peacock Feathers Shape Set are absolutely gorgeous! These fit perfectly into Mom's piece as she had a beautiful evening dress that my Dad had brought her back from Japan.The dress,iridescent Damask Silk,had Peacock feathers all over and was of the colors I used for this.

After the Peacock Feathers were painted and placed along with the other chipboard,I felt I needed just a bit more.I went through my Gina's stash and found the perfect chipboard pieces!

Again a bit of separation was done-

I told you Gina's chipboard was versatile!

 Here I used the Wrought Iron Set and separated a few of the swirly embellishments for my accent pieces for the center.

   I was painting the words,
"A Moment in Time", when there was Mom 
in beautiful cursive,so I cut it from the phrase and used this in place-I hope you don't mind Gina! ") This was then adhered to one of the pieces from the Stackable Labels Set.

 

This is a very special piece to me as I said earlier and I couldn't be more pleased with the way it turned out! Truly Gina's Design's made this creation of mine-all the more elegant!

 I do hope you have been inspired!
Namaste'
