The Whitehead Girls circa 1960

This is just unbelievably stunning! I actually caught my breath when I saw it! I know, that sounds corny, but I'm telling the truth. This is truly beautiful. Your hand coloring is gorgeous and the embossed look of the swirls a subtle yet so effective. Love, love, love it! Going to my faves!

This is so pretty- your hand tinting is absolutely perfect. What a wonderful photo to have and a wonderful keepsake you have made from it.

WOW!!! This is Gorgeous Cat! I can't believe how good this looks! Well, yeah I can considering all the hard work you put into it. What a wonderful Tribute!

Great job with the hand coloring and a beautiful layout! What a nice remembrance. Great job!

I LOVE how they have their arms locked like that! You can tell how much they care for each other...and FUN

You did a marvelous job with the photo.

What a lovely tribute!

Very nice LO. I love the hand-colouring, you've done a very good job. TFS!

This is so gorgeous. You have done an amazing job re-colouring the photo. I dont know where the photo is from but sure looks like where my Dad grew up in Manchester You can definatly tell its in the UK though.

AWESOME! Love this the way you colored it - the green background - the tag - Everything!

Lovely! All the work you put into this certainly paid off; it's an absolutely gorgeous page.

Spot on jane

 

This is Hillkirk St and yes, its Manchester, Ancoats, just a mile or two from the city centre.

where was your Dad from?

What a lovely layout! It's gorgeous. I love the hand painting you did in this. I want to learn this too. So many things I need to learn. Anyways, your layout is simply stunning. I love the colors, the swirls, but most of all the commeraderie of the women in the photo. What a wonderful family memory.

Rosemary, the colouring is time consuming but not inherntly difficult. I use PSE 5 and could easilly talk you through how I do it if you want to PM me. It can't be so different in other programmes.

 

Incidentally, talking about linking arms, in Manchester we would say 'put your leg in bed' when asking to link arms!

Well, drat! I was hoping you had a quick-to-do secret to share as to how to color the picture like that. Amazing work!

I like the flourish on the background papers

This is awesome. What a great photo to have and you have scrapped it beautifully!!!!
