Elizabeth’s First Recital
You will use the purple/pink-textured paper for your background. Cut a 12”x6 1/4" light blue watercolor paper and glue it across a sheet of striped paper with music notes above and below the light blue paper. Trim top and bottom as shown and mat on gold paper. Glue across the background paper, 1/8” from the top. Mat the photos on white cardstock, then pink/blue textured paper and glue on the light blue paper as shown.
Tape the stencil so the top bar of music notes is above the photo on the right side of the light blue paper. Apply FlitterGlu with a cosmetic sponge through the image on the stencil. Remove the stencil, wash and dry it. Place pieces of gold metal leaf on the FlitterGlu image. Use a clean cosmetic sponge to remove the excess metal leaf. Repeat this process for the large curved music image on the bottom of the background paper, on the right side.
