Hello everyone, thanks for dropping by and for all your lovely comments on my recent Tim makes.
Today I have something totally different to share with you. I finally found the time to do an other page in my altered book:
I am using this book to keep old photographs of various relatives, both of my husband and myself. This page is dedicated to
my grandparents on my fathers side.
Unfortunately I never got to know them very well. They were German jews who immigrated to the United States in 1939, they got away from Nazi Germany on one of the very last ships.
By the time I was born, my grandpa had died already and I only met my grandma twice....
Anyway, here are a few closer looks at the pages:
Background created in the usual way with Gesso, various texture pastes and different layers of fabric and lace strips. Added colours with various sprays then some background stamping, plus some collaged and stamped tags and tickets etc.
On this page I added texture paste and while still wet embossing powder and some glitter which was then dried and melted with a heat gun. Below some further close ups:
The metal clock face was first painted with Gesso, then coloured with some Luminarte Silks, a few bits of embossing powder and glitter were melted into it and then it was highlighted with Treasure Gold, as were some of the other embellishments.
I am going to enter this into the following challenges:
Finnabair Sparkle and Shine bloghop and challenge
Paper Artsy Shiny Stuff lots of shiny embossing powder and glitter plus treasure gold.
Mixed Media Monthly Challenge use something new to you. I have never used embossing powders and glitter into wet texture paste, so that was new to me.
