This was a picture of my mom in 1945. I was just a toddler and my brother had just been born. This is for fablady's Mother Challenge and the STW Challenge to use some of Irene's (scrapperlicious) techniques. Sorry about the glare on the word Mother but I couldn't get rid of it, even not using the flash. I love Irene's talent and wanted to try some on my own, however I always tend to overdo things. There's a lot going on here, makes me dizzy. But I sure had fun. Hope in a miniscule way it compliments Irene.
These are the techniques I used:
I inked the edges of the background paper with Worn Lipstick and Black Soot distressed inks Tim Holtz). Then masked a doily behind the picture (looks much better IRL) and randomly inked the background with faded lipstick and peeled paint distressed ink. I stamped words and flowers on the background paper in black ink for some depth.
I used alcohol inks on the stamped image of the leaves and flowers on transparency up the right side of the page and also some on the right between the photo and the pink swirl on the left (hard to see). Also stamped the Title on transparency and inked with alcohol inks.
The flower bottom left was a find at a garage sale (the large palmetto flower), and the round blingy thing was a scarf pin at the same sale. Irene puts a lot of stuff like these things in her lo's and I love it. I put prima flowers layered in the center with a gold heart on top (same sale).
Lower left I made a doily flower and inked it, and the note on the left I used the crumpled paper technique and inked with distressed inks.
I'm getting awfully tired of explaining everything, I'm not good at it, so if you like it let me know and if you don't tell me what I need to fix. Oh, forgot to mention the butterflies top right, and the heart is grunge board that I heat-embossed in gold.
The quote on the oval transparency on the left of the photo says "1 daughter plus 1 mother equals Best Friends" - author unknown.TFL
Edit: forgot to mention the stamped roses top and bottom of photo. I used watercolor pencils to color the roses and leaves. :)
