Just Add Ink Challenge 76

Hello,

Another challenge for Just Add Ink this week for which I am a guest designer for the month of July. This week it is a photo challenge, and it was quite a challenge. Here is the photo:



I decided to do a scrap book page using a photo of my Nan (in law), who passed away on June 16. Although I had only known her for a couple of, I believe that we bonded instantly and it wasn't long before I was calling her Nan and felt comfortable doing so. I have always lived a great distance from my grandparents so Nan was the closest thing that I had to a grandparent so her passing hit me quite hard. Here is my page:



I used water colouring, with an aqua pen to create the back ground and some bleach in another aqua pen to create the clouds.

I think that it was good therapy for me to complete this page and I am quite pleased with the result.
