Jennifer - Tin Type

Hi everyone!  Jen here today to bring you a little more Tin Type inspiration!!!

I would like to share a layout which brings back a lot of memories!  My husband (then boyfriend) and I took a trip to Italy and he proposed to me in Venice...on a gondola even!  I used the brand new Quick Quotes Tin Type paperline to create my layout.

I used a really cool technique to create the large frame on the first page and the border on the second page.  I tore one edge of a paper strip that was about 1 1/2" wide.  I inked the edges with Biscotti and Midnight Confessions chalk ink.  I then created pleats by folding the paper back and forth. 

I adhered the pleated paper to the back of the large frame to hold the shape of the pleats in place.  I then ran the chalk ink over the tops of the pleats to make them stand out even more.  Here is a closeup of the pleated paper:

I altered the bare Chipboard Flowers and the Prima flowers by painting them with black and gold acrylic paint.  Once the pieces were dry, I chalked the edges with Midnight Confessions chalk ink and added a clear gem to the center. 

I also cut out the hot air balloon and building (which reminded me so much of the buildings in Venice) from a sheet of the Tin Type paper.  I inked the edges and pop dotted them on my layout.  Here you can see the pop dotted hot air balloon:
