A Painterlady's View: Circa 1938 by ~ Mistra Hoolahan

Circa 1938 by ~ Mistra Hoolahan

Hi everyone! Today I wanted to try some different colours for me, yellow and brown tones, they were just right for this old photo of my grandparents. I have used papers from both the Family Jeans and Fun and Funky lines, the tones worked together perfectly!

I white washed the papers to give it a more 'vintagey' feel. The chipboard numbers were painted white and then inked with Mix'd Media Inx Chox. I love how these inks are beautify for shading as they dry almost immediately.

I've torn and scrunched up some snippets of Donna's Crafty Chronicle, these help break the patterns and add interest.

The big brown flower was created using Donna's Grand Peony Dies, originally on a light brown card stock, but I have spritzed it with Candle Glow Smooch Spritz to give it a real autumn tone.

I've tucked in some of the new Diecut Shapes, here using a few of the Banners on matching tones.

Thanks for visiting! Until next time, take care of you...
