 This is my entry , it's my Mum & her friends on VE Day 1945, written on the back is 'This was taken
By a sailor on VE Day !'  What a wonderful snapshot in time !



I bought an oval canvas and covered it with tissue paper






I used some pretty flower paper from Tim's wallpaper pk
& watercoloured them to blend with the colours on my photo.



Then I added some Union Jack type paper from portabello road



As you can see above the photo is mounted on the reverse of the flower paper & stamped
In black over my mums jacket & red 'vintage treasures!'
Below is a close up of the details 1945 is cut from Tims paper


VE Day is stamped with DoCrafts typeset alphabet & punched out with a round punch. I
Rubbed blue ink and treasure gold around the edge of frame.
The Crown shape was painted in black then I used green distress glitter & treasure gold over that
Then I added the bow

  8. Hi Janna....this is such a cool project capturing that very important date in history. It is so neat that you used a photograph of your mom that was taken on that day. What a wonderful way to forever preserve such a neat memory. I love your photo tinting and the techniques you used on your layers of papers to create such a lovely piece.
