Select a page in a book you are altering or tear one from an old book. Mix GOLDEN® Quinacridone Gold Fluid Acrylic (5GO-2300) with GOLDEN® Regular Gel (Matte) (5GO 3030) to make a glaze, and apply to page, making sure your brush strokes show. When dry, apply some GOLDEN® Quinacridone Burnt Orange (5GO-2280 - Discontinued) to add a depth of color. Print vintage photos onto ivory 100% cotton resume quality paper, using an ink-jet printer set to photo quality. This gives a vintage look to your copies. Tear the edges of the largest photo, and age edges with Walnut Ink (5FF-WI03 - Discontinued). Poke one of the pins from The Attic T-Pins (5EK RSNA009) through the edge of the photo as shown, and glue to the prepared page. Trim a photo to fit into the clock image pocket selected from Times Past Rice Paper Pockets (5EK RSNASP023). Tear the top edge of the photo and age with Walnut Ink. The pocket has a self-adhesive back, so just attach it to the page as shown. Stick one of the Handwriting Epoxy Corners (5EK-RSNASP005 - Discontinued) to the lower corner of the pocket as shown. Trim another photo to fit one of the Musical Window Keepers (5EK-RSNA028) and insert into the pocket. Attach one of the clock image stickers from Botanical Epoxy Donuts (5EK RSNASP031) over the hole in the flap of the Window Keeper. Using an awl, punch a hole through all layers of the Window Keeper, and thread twine through all layers to keep closed. Clip your favorite from Findings Paper Clips (5EK-RSNA004) to the bottom edge of the Window Keeper. Attach this piece to the page using Memory Book Glue Dots (5JV-5029). Attach the “F” from the Old Tag Alphabet Stickers (5EK-RSNASP033) in the bottom corner as shown. Use the 1/2” Lever Circle Punch (5MULVCP40) to punch out the rest of the letters from the Metal Type Collage Sheet (5ARTYPE), and glue to page with The BORDERLine™ Rectangular Glue Stick (5AT-BORDERLINE). Cover each type key letter with a Medium Circle Blank Page Pebbles (5MA-22923 - Discontinued). Tone down the color intensity of the entire page by applying burnt umber acrylic paint with a dry brush effect as needed.
