In Remembrance, Last Project of 2010

Wow what an incredible year its been both personally and artistically. I have learned a lot which is what its all about right?
As promised I have made an Altered Tray for my Brothers Birthday in January.

I picked some images of our father that I know he doesn't have. Both he and my father are veterans so I'm sure this will hold a special place in his heart.
I used some Making Memories fabric on the bottom of the tray to simulate Army fatigues.

The larger image is printed on vellum to give it that misty vintage look. I used gold photo corners on the images to give it that old scrapbook feel.

I will update you once he receives the tray on the 20th

I cut some words from paper and adhered them to some heavy card stock then used Ranger Pop up dots to raise them from the tray.

Double layered ribbon with gold star embellishment's help add to the military feel.

A rosette in military colors toped off with an epoxy covered star help give the feeling of a badge.

    Hello Stephen,

    it's always difficult for me to make something " manly"; You prove here that it's possible :)

    I'm sure your brother will cherish the remembrance to your father and the fact that you made something creative especially for him !

    greetings from belgium
