Gelliprinted over it
with a letterstencil in 3 different colors (brown, yellow and orange). You don’t
really see the letters but I’m pleased with the background.
Because one of the images
was of Shakespeare I took my inspiration from that.
I took a piece of a
doiley, sprayed it with red Dylusions and glued it on some double sided carpet
tape, added gold glitters in the empty spaces and glued it in the corner of the
page.
On the other side I
added a lace border with a stamp (from Kaiserkraft I believe) and added a
vintage looking lady ( a free printable from Vintage Emphemera Garden - just sign up for the newsletter).
Made a flower out of
bakingpaper which I use when tea dying paper to age them, used another piece of
this bakingpaper to add the journaling stamp on which I wrote a quote from
Shakespeare:
It is not in the stars
to hold our destiny but in ourselves.
I tried to write in what
I think is an old fashioned way. I had an oops while glueing this piece with
some gel medium as the marker wasn’t waterproof, so as a result of this it
smeared, but this only adds to the vintage charm, don’t you think?
In the upper corner I
added a heartshape made out of hot glue which was laying on my desk from an
experiment using it as a stamp.
junk used:
cereal package
leftover pieces of dictionary pages
bakingpaper
hotglue heartshape
So many great layers and they all add to the vintage look!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ruth, it took a while from beginning to finish, I think this page is sitting on my desk for more than a month, but sometimes things just need to ripe.
