Hilda.

I created one 12" x 12" Scrapbook page using a photo of my maternal Grandmother, Heiltje (Hilda) Johanna Gertruida Pelser. The photo was taken and developed by my father Petrus ( Piet ) Johannes Smit.




 I have scrapbooked her before, you can see the layout here.

The reason I scrapbooked the photo again, is that I have discovered new information about her, which I have added to the back of the page.

 My inspiration was "Haute Couture"  by Karen McIvor from the book Total Scrapbooking by Sarah Mason and Karen McIvor.

Hints & Tips: I traced some of my templates with a permanent marker on opaque flexible plastic cutting board sheets as used for cooking. I got them at a Dollar-store. I punched holes in them with a hole punch and hung them from a shower curtain ring.

I covered my work surface with newspaper and supported the flowers in an egg carton.

I also sprayed the flowers with Perfect Pearls Mist gold. You can also make your own.

Great hint:  “Add a marble if you have one (Dollar Store), this helps with mixing it.  

Shake well before using and spray as needed.”

 

Hint: I scanned the layout from the book, put it on the computer screen, the static electricity made it cling to the screen. I put a photo on top of that to see what it looked like.

There is more information on the tag. I colored the white flowers with black die, then I sprayed them with homemade black alcohol spray, which turned out grey, lastly I sprayed them with Perfect Pearl, Perfect Pearls mist by Ranger.
