Ashley Chantel's Graduation..!

Remember this one Ashes...?

Your Graduation Portrait that I scrapped "Digitally", and then

Scrapped "Traditionally" for Wall Hanging..!

I first created the portrait "digitally";

Then I had the leftover material from her graduation gown -- which Ash quickly outgrew.!

I used the material of her grad gown, and scrapped it almost like a "pincushion" style..

Used beads and pearls, pearl pins, ribbon, floral, and butterfly...!!

The first picture is taken without flash;

The one below I took "with flash" to show greater detail....!!

Many Thanks for Taking a Peek...!
