ODBDLYLS13 - Faith & Love

The ODBDLYLS13 Challenge this week is to use a lovely inspiration photos with hues of blue, grey and a pop of red.  I  have this lovely new set Never Give Up from Our Daily Bread Designs that has this beautiful cross which had me pulling out some old photos of my uncle's first communion. 

 


The picture is of my grandfather, grandmother, my mom (in the adorable coat and hat) and her older brother and younger brother.  She actually had two more brothers who weren't born yet. :)

I used that as my focal point and scattered the cross across the background with touches of blue glimmer mist.  The sentiments are from the ODBD God's Love set and Faith.

Products: Prima, My Moments, Recollections flourishes, Ranger Dye Ink - Stormy Weather, Ranger Archival Ink, Glimmer Mist - Jazz Blue, s and lace trims.

I decided to create a second layout based on the inspiration using some pictures from my mom's first communion.

 I used the ODBD sets used include: Never Give Up, Brocade Background, Sweet William Small, and Easter Blessings.

The flourishes are Zva and the paper is Enchanted by Bo Bunny. The background is a mix of stamping the brocade background and smearing white paint and sponging blue dye ink.

Happy Tuesday to you!
