Photo Booth Transfer


In anticipation of my photo transfer class next week I decided to give it a quick try. I used an old photo booth strip of my Grandma as a teen, layered on the paint, papers, words, stencils, there's glitter in there, and lots of gel medium and crackle. I just kept throwing stuff on! I'm not totally in love with this but an okay start. It made me realize I need a bit of a composition plan for my class...what kind of theme and what photos to transfer? I'll think on that.

How fantastic to have and use photo booth photos of your Grandma as a teenager! I LOVE all the elements to this page, the wording, the stencil, the music, the swirls, the colours, all fab!

How lovely you have the photos of your grandma, Katie! What did you use for the transfer process? Your class will be so much fun.

I haven't tried photo transfer yet, but it looks really intriguing. I love the historical element. :)
