The Northern Lights of Old Aberdeen

It's the last Saturday of the month and time for our

Photo Challenge at  Just Us Girls and hosting this week is Sue.

When I saw this photo it reminded me of my Dad

who had told me he had actually seen the

Northern Light of Old Aberdeen in Scotland - hence

the dymo cut sentiment depicting what they may have

looked like for him.

There is a song about this and sung by a

very popular Scottish singer most of you would not

have heard of - Andy Stewart. 

I know a few of my friends will know him and his music.

I was lucky enough to see this gentleman in concert

and brought back so many memories of my childhood

listening to his music with my parents.

My first attempt was very different to this 

and I did the crafters sin by adding just one more thing

and spoilt it. However I do like this one a lot better

and was quicker to make.

I inked and heat embossed a bunch of trees

just like the photo and then added Tim's Oxide Inks

a few tiny stars from a gel pen and a few bigger ones 

with a dipped cotton bud and a spray of perfect pearls.

Adhered to a black mat onto metallic card stock

that has a hint of green.
