Tribute to My Sister Louise

Give cheer Give a Cheer

This layout is in memory of my sister Louise who passed away at the age of 35, on Feb 12, 1992 as a result of Marfan Syndrome . This is another layout made for my Mom to be added to her shadow box. The picture was taken as a casual picture, so no posing as you can tell. Louise is on the far right, I'm in the middle (Yep I look different from 19 years ago) and the far left is my eldest sister Linda (there are 3 other siblings not present) Thank you for looking I hope you enjoy.

The flowers are a variety, some bought from Micheals, there are a couple prima as well, and some just from the local dollar store. The lace Doily I painted with Folk Art Acrylic Paint #654 Metallic Amethyst. The butterflies are bought from ebay. The outside heart shape border is from Fiskars, the border around the picture is from Martha Stewart. The ribbon/lace is actually a garter belt bought from Michaels. On the two white roses I inked them slightly and added #688 Misty Lavender Pearl Ex on the tips to give it a bit of simmer (seen better in person) I added #682 Duo Green-Yellow Pearl Ex onto the leaves to give them a simmer of color. I added a touch of Crystal Stickles to some of the white flowers, to make them sparkle. The border background paper is from American Crafts and is very sparkly but doesn't show very well in the picture. Hope you enjoy

Forgive the quality of the picture, it was a picture taken on a 35 mm in 1990 then scanned but didn't scan well .. NOW had to retouch the brightness and such... so its not the best, but one can't be picky or choosy when its pictures of a loved one who is passed away. Each and every picture is precious. This picture however does look alot better in person.
