Having completed the 12 Tags of Christmas as my introduction to the Tim Holtz technique, I was determined to implement some of the vintage techniques into my scrapbook pages, as this is the primary “crafting” that I do.
I used the Tattered Leaves die and alcohol inks on kraft glassine for the leaves. When I saw Tim's idea of printing a photo on the glassine paper, I knew how I wanted to bring that element into this scrapbook page, as my old photo of Daddy with Pooch came to mind. The photo was very faded, so first I edited it to make it a more intense black and white photo. Obviously, due to the nature of the kraft glassine paper, the photo does not show up as well as it does in person. I am pleased with the effect and love the whole vintage idea of displaying a photo of my dad with his bird dog as an embellishment to the modern-day picture of my son with his bird dog.
I think your page came out great. I love the look of the old and the new. I've been wanting to try something with Kraft Glassine. Now you've given me inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThat photo on glassine paper is brilliant! It gives a wonderful vintage look.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the photo printed on glassine. I did not know you could do that...awesome!!! I'm jealous you are working on scrapbook pages. I really need to do that do...so far behind! Kudos to your page!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree...your page turned out great! I love how you used the glassine to print the photo. Did you use an ink jet or laser printer to print the photo?
ReplyDeleteI think your page is perfect. I love the photo of your dad and the way it turned out. Glassine is one of my new favorites since this past 12 Tags!
ReplyDeleteI used an inkjet printer on the glassine. I think Tim said not to use laser because of the heat. Thanks for encouraging comments.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful layout! Love the photo on the glassine paper.
