Some Mixed Media Vintage Inspiration
With AB.studio Papers & Cut Outs
and
Prima Marketing Flowers, Moulds & Mediums

Hi there friends, thanks for stopping by.
Today I have a vintage inspired mixed media layout & featuring these very old
photos of my dear departed Mother in Law, to show you.
This photo is over one hundred years old, hence the quality.

 I created this one for A.B.studio using their gorgeous papers, cut outs,
gold foil leaves & butterflies as well I used one of their lovely stencils too.

AB.Studio Products Used....
"Old Dreams" Sheet #1  (background)
"Old Dreams" Bonus Page From Pack
"Old Dreams" #7 Tags
"Unexpected" Sheet #8..Word Strips / Quote
Gold Vellum Leaf Paper #0129
Gold Vellum Butterfly Paper #0117
Stencil - "French Romance" ID-246


I also used some of the NEW Prima Marketing "Diamond" flowers.
Aren't they the most gorgeous shade of yellows ever !!!

Prima Marketing Products Used...
"Diamond" Flowers #653248
Bling Crystals #651657
Moulds "Nature Lover" #648138
(Fern leaves & Birds)
Finnabair Icing Paste in Vintage Gold
Finnabair Wax Paste in "Aged Brass'
Finnibair Wax Paste in "Lucky Emerald" green


I created all the little fern leaves, birds & the old spoon using moulds & liquid resin
& then coloured them all up with wax paste to match my layout. 
I had so much fun doing this.


I have used the Finnabair wax pastes to colours not only the resin pieces 
but also to colour a bunch of die cuts too. Really happy with the 
result of combining the two coloured waxes on my pieces.


I have used the "Aged Brass" wax paste to add some colour to these beautiful
"Gold Foil Vellum Leaves" from AB. Studio too. I love these & you get lots & 
lots of them on the one sheet, plus they are a really easy shape to cut out too.


I have also used this little quote that I had cut out from the AB.Studio
 "Unexpected Sheet #8" paper. I thought it was the perfect quote for my photos.


A 2Crafty Chipboard fine "Word Title", some Prima Bling Crystals,
a bow tied in string & some Prills scattered around my layout
& all teamed with lots of cut out pieces from AB.Studio
as well as some background stencilling too.


This layout was such a pleasure to create & although a lot of work,
it just came together sooo easily. I wished that happened all the time.
Always easy when you are working with such beautiful products.💖


Well thats all from me today.
I hope you like my tribute layout to my Mother in law.
I am going to hang this one on the wall.

Well thats all from me today.

Until next time....
