Purple Pumpkin

This is my take on the sketch over at Purple Pumpkin and it's off my grandfather and his mother during the war years.
In the close-up above you will see the mixed media on this layout, I've used very old book pages that were scrunched and glued before spraying them with ink and stamping.  I've also fussy cut some of the flowers from the paper range.

Products Used:
Graphic 45 Bird Song Paper Collection
American Craft Thickers Alpha
Kaisercraft Clock Stamp
Scrap Fx Chipboard
Prima Flower and Vine and Bird
Dylusions Ink
Tim Holtz Distress Ink
Green Tara Flowers
D-Lish Cameo
Washi Tape
