She Wore Gray Like the Rain

When I saw this quote I immediately thought of my maternal grandmother. Anna recently mentioned a blog post by Amy Johnson Crow and combining the stories with the photos. I'm almost done with my heritage project (if one can ever be done), but it's lacking some of my recollections of the members. Love how Adryane includes memories and reflections on her heritage pages. Without the memory or reflection it's just a photo that has little meaning to future generations.

Process
An artsy paper from APP Radiant was used as the foundation of the page. The image was extracted. More contrast was added using the levels adjustment tool. The image was duplicated and using the artistic filter, a poster edge was created (blending mode changed to hard light). This added some grit to the image. A sticker outline was added. The rain drops in MM Rain 1 were recolored using the Hue/Saturation adjustment tool. Ruled Lines and brushes were layered behind the image. Word art, heart stitches, dimensional embellishments and journaling were added to complete the page.

Thank you for looking!
I'm glad all the memories weren't grim and dour! Love the stroke around the figure. Great add and I never would have thought of it. I also love the color tied to a visual memory. very cool page.
 
I love this page. Beautiful journaling. It's nice when we can inspire each other :)
