Thank you ever so much, Kathleen! I have to crown you as my Queen of techniques! 👑 I’ve always loved seeing the pieces that you embossed and sanded! However, no specific favourite except you! 🥰 Love and big hugs! 😀💞
I love all of the subtleties and the subtle touches you add to your beautiful creations. Thank you 🙏 😊 very much for sharing the clever idea of finding photo images in history books and the like 💖.
@@BeAgainBooks I discovered you about 2 months ago and I have not been able to get enough. You’re my go to for inspiration! I appreciate your hard work to provide us with amazing content!
@mychelebellecreations4388 I am really so glad you discovered me and I am so very pleased that you find my videos helpful. That makes me happy! Thank you for joining the community of friends.
Thank you for making this video! So glad I bumped into it on TH-cam. As a volunteer at our local historical society, I have access to so many old books and photos that are not relevant to our county and are deaccessioned. This video gives me multiple ideas for how to incorporate vintage materials in my cardmaking!
Great video, Kathleen!! So wonderful to see these ideas altogether. A great way to use pictures in old books! I bet it would be fun to try some of these ideas on some of the Tim Holtz pictures, too! I’ll be looking through my old books again, soon! Thanks for the inspiration. 😃❤️
Thank you Davina! YES, I see steampunk in almost everything, haha. The guy with the now colorful waistcoat AND the one with all the medals. Yup, steampunk ish.
Your list of techniques is very inspiring Kathleen. The photos you found are a great base. It's good to be reminded of how I can use my decorative chalks from years ago too.
Wonderful ideas! Love the texture paste and the embossing ideas. I have never seen them before. Do you have a link to the embossing folder and the border stencil? Thanks so much!
@@dawnvanness6084 Thanks so much Dawn! The embossing folder is a Tim Holtz Alterations, but no particular name on it sadly. Also, the packaging is long gone on the stencil, so I can’t help you there. But I got it on Amazon. Try doing a search for “border stencil.” I should start writing info on the product…sigh. I did find an almost unreadable name…Craftreat? CTS064?
Thank you for this great video and a reminder to use my chalks. Love all of the ideas. I also like making Cabinet Cards with old pics in books. I made a video a while back on how I made them. Have a blessed weekend ☺♥
The splatters and scratching techniques really appeal to me but I'll be giving them all a try. I like the way you framed the young lady with your embossing method.
Great ideas and every single one worth to apply. I am especially drawn to the chalking bit, have to dig in my supplies to find the chalk paint. And certainly I will have a lookout for those books with the vintage fotos. As always, Kathleen, terrific tutorial!!
Just found you Kathleen. I adore these techniques you have used to make those wonderful book prints look better than original vintage photos. Unfortunately there are WAY more gentlemen images than women. But I would love finding a book of First Ladies from times past. Spectacular video. ❤❤❤
Great techniques! Fantastic ❤. I’m thinking flourish stamps would be good too. FYI I have 2 sets of those chalks. One technique I used to do with them is take and use the Versamark and stamp an image. While it was still tacky take a Q-tip or cotton ball pick up some chalk and brush on to it. I loved doing it. It created a nice effect. 😊
@@miriamkivlehan3498 Thank you Miriam! This is what I do most often with glossy book images- th-cam.com/video/jQXUVhAUS5o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=eXzbeBL1qVPhyx8_ Frottage. If you watch that video, there are two more videos linked in that description box, for both an acrylic glaze that I use and the same embossed sanding technique.
It's been a while since I've used my chalks, and I have a nice palette, same brand as yours! I need to get those out today! Also, I purchased some pens, more like markers, several years ago. I bought the set "vintage". It had beautiful skin tones, soft pinks and lavenders, and greys of various shades. They were especially designed to color on photos and photo paper. I need to see if I still have those! Thanks for the great ideas... mostly for the helpful reminders!
Sososo very inspiring and totally transformed these images! I keep an eye out at the Dollar Tree for fun eyeshadow palettes, so economical for these techniques and perfect smoky dark tones ideal for aging...... and if in doubt about smudging, you might mist them with hairspray or sealant, thank you so very much for sharing! Have a most blessed Thanksgiving 🍁🍂✴️🍂🍁
Thank you, I i the middle of going through copies of old family photos that my aunt had, trying to pass some of it off to other family members. What was a box of overwhelming items, is starting to come together. This will help me put things together.
