Making memories

Hello everyone, 



I am so happy to be here again and today I have an art journal to share. It is a little Vintage. I love bright colours but I also adore Vintage. So when I found a pile of old family photographs in a junk market I was very happy. I have used one of these photos in my Journal page today. 

First I will show you which of the fabulous Chip Boards I used: 


It is called Fancy Background and here is what I did with it: 





First I cut the middle bit out so I had two halves... 






A layer of gesso and then they are ready for the sand paste. 





This is what that looks like, now to turn it into rust.... 



I used two colours of acrylic paints for this. I learned this technique in a workshop by Andy Skinner a few years ago. I think he has developed a new technique to make rust in the meantime.   


This is what it looks like when finished... Isn't that cool ! 

And here is what I did with the finished piece.. 




I used crackle paste, acrylic paint and antiquing cremes to create the background. I also used some embossing powder and all the stamps I used are by VivaLasVegaStamps! 



A close up of the flourish...


and another one....

I hope you enjoyed my post today and that I have been able to entice you to use some of those fantastic chip boards ! 

Until next time,

  2. What a fabulous page from Corrie. Those rusted flourishes are amazing, and I love the gentle teal colours and vintage photo.
