Mood Board Inspiration

Best Friends – Adri Du Preez

 Hello everyone!
Here is my layout inspired by the beautiful May mood board and some stunning Dusty Attic chipboard pieces. 
This layout celebrates the beautiful friendship between my daughter and her best friend Leani.  They said their goodbyes on Saturday morning when Leani and her husband Neil left for Australia.  I took these photos of the two girls in April 2012.  Leani borrowed these fur hats and shawls from her Gran and we had such a fun photo shoot.  I followed the shades of the mood board, but just brighter, as this is after all a celebration.
Journaling : We wish you a very safe and fulfilling journey abroad, and pray that the Lord guide your every move, and may this new journey bring you some of the most beautiful and magical experiences of your life. Your friends and family in South-Africa will miss you like crazy, but I am sure they are all happy for the opportunity you’ve got to experience life in another country.
Here is my layout.


and here is the mood board.


All the chippies were first covered with white gesso.
I colored the title with a white Uni Posca Paint Marker and the berries of the Foliage #16 with a pink Uni Posca Paint Marker.


I painted the Foliage #4 with Americana Acrylic Paint in Green Mist, Mint Julep Green,Sour Apple and Whispering Turquoise and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.


The Foliage #14 were painted with Americana Acrylic Paint in Mint Julep Green and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.


The ATC Frames and Fantasy Fronds were heat embossed with Ranger white embossing powder.


Some close ups.
I used my favorite Wordpl@y elements.

These are the  Dusty Attic chipboard pieces that I have used.
