Lifelines celebrates the special connections you have with the people, places, pets and things that are nearest and dearest to your heart, both past and present. Thirty step-by-step projects range from framed mixed-media collages and sophisticated scrapbook pages to decorative memory boxes and handmade books. All are original and fresh in concept, format and technique.
For each project, Carol and Tena begin by sharing the inspiration behind the art to get your creative wheels turning, followed by step-by-step instruction for one key artistic technique you can adapt to create meaningful masterpieces of your own:
alter photos to create a vintage or pop art effect
create spray paint resists with ephemera
apply photos to a metal surface
stamp and emboss on crafter's metal
create embossed and resisted journaling
make a shabby frame using corrugated cardboard
achieve a faux stained-glass effect
use rub-ons to transform an ordinary old spoon into a work of art
Turn an ordinary trip down memory lane into an extraordinary creative adventure! Use these out-of-the-box projects and trendsetting techniques to celebrate the ones you love.
