Scrap Africa's new challenge went live today and it's a great one! All you have to do is to use Washi tape and twine on your layout. Then link it to the bottom of THIS post on the Scrap Africa blog before the end of the month. To see the rest of the DT's gorgeous creations, have a look HERE.
I've started with a sheet of patterned paper from the new Bo Bunny 'The Avenues' collection. The photo is one of my mum's side of the family at Christmas 1964. I am happy to say, that it was before I was born. Lol! My grandmother and grandfather are sitting in the middle with their 5 children and their husbands/wives as well as 9 grandchildren at the time. I was one of 7 more grandchildren that followed.
A close up of the strips of washi tape as well as strips of torn calico, lace, etc. I've added more texture using a Prima stencil and some Texture Magic.
I hope you get a chance to play along with this challenge. Would love to see your entries.
That's all I have for today! I better get to bed. Thank you so much for visiting. I hope you have a wonderful week!
Until next time.
