DT Creative Scrappers - Webster pages goodness

Good morning, as promised, here is the LO for Creative Scrappers reveal this week.

I used all Webster PAges goodies.... this is really yummy for this story I want to tell.

I scrap about my grandma's pillow, which is a hard ceremaic clay piece of thing.

But she will always look so rested and gracefully, her head perched on this thing.

In olden China, people sleep that way. They dont have our flurry, soft pillow like ours today.

I imagine she is like a Manchurian Princess........... LOL!

But this pillow is an antique by now. This is the ONLY pc of thing I have of her. And my memory of hers remains.

Technique: I cut out the diecut background from a Webster PAges pp. i hand stitched around the edges with brown thread. Then I cut out some lovely butterflies and vines/flowers to layer on the sides. Added pearls, a fabric brad to give it a vintage look.

Now the interesting thing is the brown doily paper. It is actually a doily paper for my cakes... I sprayed it with Glimmer Mist... colour is 'Coffeeshop' and then I added a Walnut gold. I love the effect. I learnt this from one of the classes at my LSS, from Kelly, the instructor. She is amazingly creative.

Journaling is tucked behind one of the layers of papers.
