Here’s another
colorized photo: my father with his sisters and younger brother sometime in the
mid 1930’s.
I’ve based this
design on the May sketch from the Très Jolie Kit Club, turning the photo around
but otherwise keeping pretty close to Kim’s design.
Before assembling
my page, I chose the flowers that I wanted to use and soaked them in a mug of
coffee to give them an aged look. Once I was satisfied with the staining, I put
them aside on paper toweling to dry.
I started by lightly
stenciling a flourish image in several places around the paper, using one of my
favorite Prima masks.
I inked
and matted my photo, using several layers of packaging behind each layer to add
dimension to my page.
I treated my
chipboard pieces (one from the kit, one from my stash) by covering them with Distress
spray stain, then applying Metallique waxes once they were completely dry. I
like how this gives them a varied sheen.
I pulled the
largest flower apart, folded the bottom layers over and tucked them under the
photo and over the flourish.
I started to
arrange the rest of the flowers, gluing them down one at a time to make sure
that they stayed in place. I added a fussy cut and inked piece on the bottom of
the cluster.
I selected some
pieces to tuck above the flowers: a resin cameo, a fussy cut small tag and a
couple of cardboard die cuts.
I placed the
dangle under the string image, adding a flower to the top.
There was a small
piece of lace left over from my last layout; I tucked it under the photo and
placed a resin cameo on the side.
Another cardboard
die cut, this one placed over the “memories” text on the paper, gave me my title.
