The Process
This is an old photo of my husband that his father carried in his wallet until the day he died. It was in rough shape, but I wanted to preserve it with all it's worn edges and surface just as it is, because it obviously was treasured.
I chose a neutral background paper that had the "vintage" look to match the color of my photo from AP Wanderlust. I selected a multimedia frame, rotated it and clipped my photo to the mask. I duplicated the photo and changed the blending mode to screen with a reduced opacity. There was a note written on the back of the photo that I wanted to include on the page. I scanned this, increased the contrast, and extracted the lighter color, leaving the handwriting. I placed the frame from AP Remember behind the multimedia frame, added several transfers with the blending mode changed to hard light. I extracted the image from the second photo changing the blending mode to color burn and clipped a transfer (blending mode color burn) to it for some textured. Then framed it with the blending mode changed to hard light. Stitches, elements, label words, word art, and banner were added to complete the page.
