Year endings are in a way nice, bcos it gives you a moment
to think back all that you did through the year and gives you an opportunity to
“Thank” all those people who made a difference in your life.
This is one special project, a layout that I made for my
son’s teacher (Shopana) …What is so special about it???
She has made a huge difference in his life...Shreyes is 14 yrs old, a child with special needs and has been going to this
school for the last 5 yrs now. This young lady has been his tutor and my friend
for the last 3 yrs and has incorporated a lot of new techniques to teach him.
It is a joy to watch the 2 of them together and
I particularly love the “home sessions” where I actually get to see him
perform!
I thought this is the right time to “gift” her and to
express our thanks for whatever she has done for him.
The LO is a cheerful one with lovely bright colors just like
her! I gessoed and painted the circle
cutout in yellow and placed it on white
chipboard. I decorated the corners using the “bandana Technique”. This is a
beautiful stamping technique with bright colors, where you stamp a bold pattern
and then start highlighting it with white dots and lines! I have used the Blae and Ivy stamp here.
Once the corners were done, I placed a favourite photo of me
and Shreyes on a mat and slid it thru the slot on the LO. I had this stamp with
the perfect sentiment and wanted that to be the focus of the LO. The handmade
blooms are using Tattered florals and Cheery Lynn daisy(B310). The embellishments were complete with a few flourishes, cheery Lynn olive branches,
I got very emotional when I gave this to her…and actually
had no words to say to her. She has done sooo much for us and this gesture was
to just let her know that we reciprocate
and truly appreciate each and every initiative that she takes with
Shreyes.
“THANK YOU SHOPANA” from my heart….
I hope you liked this LO and let me know your feedback on
the “bandana technique”. Do try it…its quite simple but the effect is dramatic,
ornate and decorative!
Thanks so much for stopping by…see you all the coming year
with more interesting projects. My New Year wishes to all of you.
Until then,
Happy Crafting and Re cycling.
Hugs.
