2/9 Color Challenge - Ivory Bust
I've been wanting to scrap these photos - the event was so memorable. The colors from the 2/9 challenge worked very well, I thought. The Angie Briggs Sweet Words had the perfect colors. I did blend the solid purple with the yellow floral layer to darken them. Sorry to be late again.
I used ABR Sweet Words Flowers
AFT Gratitude Embellishment Alpha
AFT Gratitude Embellishment Card
BMU Countryside Embellishment Special
ABR Sweet Words Purple Motif
ABR Sweet Words Purple Solid
ABR Sweet Words Red Solid
ABR Sweet Words Yellow Floral
SNU BS Urgan Grunge Photo Mask

December 2012. The Department of Environmental Conservation took part in a sting operation and confiscated a huge amount of ivory from an illegal dealer. After the trial, the ivory was put on display in our building. The heaps of ivory were breath-taking. Every person walking in the door said 'Oh, my God!". It was definitely a once in a life-time event. Apart from the huge number of elephants poached, I was distressed to see these gorgeous pieces of art, knowing that the artists were almost certainly getting subsistence wages for these masterpieces of carving.
