This page was a Father's Day present for Rob from Natasha & myself. He didn't even realise the photo had been taken.

The photos were taken on a the Minolta F100 digital camera 4MB in colour then changed to B&W. Then printed by KODAK as a real photo.

Technique:

1. Photo's were cropped in the same proportions to keep them the same size. Hessian was ironed with a steam iron to remove any creasing. Then frayed unevenly for a rustic look. Photos matted onto hessian with hermafix then onto Honey cardstock.
2. Cranberry cardstock is torn using the waterbrush pen to wet area to help with tearing. Then attached to Honey cardstock.
3. Tags cut out using the shape cutter & template then passed through crimper (main body only).
4. Using stamps & burgundy stamp words onto Honey cardstock, let dry.
5. Matte onto cranberry then onto tag.
6. Cut circles using shape cutter & template for tags and attach using anywhere hole punch & setter. Square eyelets are soft & don' require a lot of hammering.

9. Attach tags on Cranberry & crimped square to Honey.
