7 Gypsies ATC & Photo Display
using techniques from Jessica Sprague's Brush*Abilities, Photo Editing: Good to Great,
and Photo Editing: Frame Ups and Special Effects courses

This year for Christmas I wanted to give my sister a cool gift that displays their favorite family photos. I purchased the 7 Gypsies ATC & Photo Display.

The display will hold 8 4x6” photos, 8 3x5” photos and 8 2x3” photos. I decided to do 16 of each size, so I could adhere each pair back-to-back and have double-sided photos. Once I had my photos selected, I began editing them. I used techniques from both of Jessica's Photo Editing courses, as well as the Brush*Abilities course...and boy was this fun! I added textures, used brushes to make my own frames, and stamped word art onto my photos. The results were amazing!

I printed the photos, adhered each pair together using Kokuyo Dot-n-Roller adhesive, and used a corner rounder punch to round the corners. The end result:

Rachael used techniques from the following classes:

Brush*Abilities

Oh my gosh, this is an amazing idea. I have one of these arriving from the USA any day now, and not really much of a plan on what to do with it. Now I do! I have always wanted to make a display of family photos, sort of a hanging family tree, this will be so cute. Thank you for inspiring mesmilies/smiley.gifsmilies/smiley.gif
