Use a Portrait


I started with a piece pf hardboard - covered it with paper from Tim's "Traveller" paper stack

I added a little colour too it - not a lot because I liked the colour. I used Texture Fade and Distress ink to add the dots - I then cut and tore pieces of old paper some doyley and some burlap and added the to the centre - I inked with vintage photo to have them all the same shade - I then added the photos again from one of Tim's paper stacks which I had mounted on burlap

I followed Brenda's brilliant tutorial on my leaves and key - it wasn't as successful as Brenda's but I love the techniques and will try again.

I added a flower made of fabric and string and put the leaves underneath. I then added the key

I finished off by putting holes in the top and threading hemp through

This is my entry for the Vintage Journey Challenge - use a Portrait -Almost all of the products I used were Tim Holtz

I am also entering in the following challenges

The Mirror Cracked - Stencils

Moo Mania - Anything goes
