Valuable heirlooms- Scrapbooking Top 50 Australia- May DT Inspiration

Wonderful memories of childhood and family are valuable heirlooms. I found some old slides years ago and eventually I have got around to scrapbooking some of my Pop and Dad with a very young me.

BACKGROUND:

• I first gave the paper a light spray of water in the area in which I was going to spray my colour.
• Using the spray bottle in one hand and the dylusions 'Dirty Martini' in the other I sprayed toward the edge with both at the same time. 
• Then repeated the process with the 'Tangerine Dream' and water. 
• Taking the sprayer out of the bottles I used the tube to flick colour around, repeating with all the colours I previously mentioned.
• I also added some white gesso thickly around the area where the photos will be placed.

CLOCK PIECES:

• Paint with gesso and allow to dry
• Paint with Brass Mica color and then add some teal before it's totally dry so they will blend.

To complete the page I added layers of torn stripes of paper, Black cotton, twisted wire and then backed the photos with several papers before adding the flowers and additional embellishments.
