I made this for the first challenge on the new Vintage Veranda forum website. If you like paper crafts, mixed media, etc. in the vintage style, you will love it! Lots of nice friendly people. You can see the website here http://www.vintageveranda.com/.
The challenge was to create a piece using recipe as the inspiration. For the background I used a printed scan of an old recipe booklet from a waffle iron my inlaws received as a wedding gift in 1948. The man and woman eating is an image transfer over gesso and acrylic paint. I added some color to it with gel pens to try and bring it out a little more as it seemed kind of lost. The photo doesn't show it very well but I added silver glitter with a gel pen on the birds, the little flower edges and the star fish. If you click on it to see it really close up it shows much better.
I used Stmapin' Up Always, French Script background and Balmy Breezes stamp sets. It took me forever to get this one done. Just couldn't seem to get it to come together. I finally decided to just stop!! LOL
