Can you do the letters of a darker pink and also make them stand out a bit?

Oki doki, I'll do that! The thing is I wanted to add that 3D effect but it was too "digital" so I think the only way to make it like this would be by hand. This is how it looked with the 3d effect:

I can add this one if you want me too, or maybe just make a small shadow? What would you rather liked?

Also, this is the props I have made yesterday, the telegram has been teared up and reassembled and the message too is actually another piece of paper
I have guessed the size of the other props, but not completely sure of it...

Photos are all printed on photo paper:

And the famous passport (I need to buy a puncher):

And this is the problem I have encountered, is this a big deal? What do you think?

Oh and that's the bottle I have found on ebay , could someone help me found the right type of bottle that would go with the cap?
I had it for much cheaper than what the seller was requested for it at first... Apparently it's from the 80's.

Hi Emma

Great work on the props :thumbsup :thumbsup. They look very good. Where / how did you get the crossed keys (don't look like paper) and Serge's docs
The passport cover is spot on - too bad for the stamp on the photo (that great work on the passport cover deserves a correct stamp position . Any idea how you'll get the round metal part ?

That bottle cap is also very close (how did you search for it?) I like that 3D effect. Don't think it looks too digital. What's your preference?
Keep up the good work. Thanks

My romantic poetry book is finished. I'll upload pics later

Actually the crossed key was a promotional item from the premiere in Canada, they go for quite a lot now, but I had mine for $50 a few months after the movie came out. They are real pins, I believe made of metal? I now regret to not have bought 2 of them!

Haha I know for the stamp! The thing is I had to tear up apart an old sketchbook of mine, it was some sort of recycled paper... I thought it would look great for the passport. I have another one, but it's brand new, and I don't know if it would be reasonable to remove the cover of that one too xD.

The round metal part is just some eyelet I suppose? I have bought some off ebay, they were cheap, so I will see... hopefully it won't be too wide in width...

I can work with the 3D effect one, I'll post the file later today.

That's great! Would you mind sharing the file for the cover of your romantic poetry book?

I have been through many perfume bottles to find this one... Details were poor on them, but I mainly looked for art deco perfume bottles. I believe that this is the right cap, and it's been taking from above a bit, so the size should be correct too.. I will see when I will receive it! Now I need to find the right bottle, not easy to find either...

I actually used screencaps I made for Serge props.

Great find those crossed keys. Good thing you bought it
Thanks for posting Serge doc :thumbsup
The cover for the romantic poetry book is the one that has been posted here. For the back cover I used the botom part of the front cover (once I don't have Photoshop the copy and paste job wasn't that good...). For the spine I used the logo from the front page and did the same thing - so there's not a file
Took a quick look on a vintage shop near by and found this bottle (appart from that fact that should be more shiny, what do you think?) Sadly none of the bottles had atomizer

The big ones are actually quite similar to COCO CHANEL perfumes

"My" Romantic Poetry book and two cards

Okay, I remade the label with the 3D effect, let me know what you think:

Also I was wondering what his the size of the courtisan au chocolat and its box?

 

[EmmaInCandyland]

The book is beautiful! What paper did you use for it? What its size too? ^^

Thanks Emma

The paper is a regular 80g so it would be easy to glue on the book hardcover. Again the size was a wild guess once I don't know the original measurements (aprox 4/50 in X 8 in)

Looks fantastic Emma. I like it very much. Good job. Thanks a lot :thumbsup
As to the size of the courtisan au chocolat and its box, sorry - no idea

Thank you

From my calculation the box seems to be around 13cm... So I guess the courtesan might be something around 11cm? Mmmh... ^^

@ EmmaInCandyland

Regarding the passport - Ok I've weathered the cover and cuted the corners round. About the pages - how many are you thinking of ?

I have tried to inform myself on vintage passport from the 30's, and they don't seem to have more than 5 pages... So maybe 3 double page spread?

 

[EmmaInCandyland]

I checked the movie, and mr Gustaves passeport has quite a few pages... I would make 10 pages?

 

[LorduDesign]

EmmaInCandyland good job!

Thanks for the info. I'll try 5 or 6 double pages

 

[EmmaInCandyland]

Yeah I think I will go with 5 double page spreads too ^^

Here's where I stand with the passport (will work on the pages later on)
Mde D death photo is also finished

Passport is finished. Went to a store that sells all kind of leathers, thongs, belts, buckles, etc. and got a real cheap eyelet. They applied it too (not exactly like the one used in the movie but close enough)
Thank you Krats for sharing the files :thumbsup

Looking good! I can't find the right eyelet either.. The silver I got were too wide, I have good ones but they are gold... I tried to reprint the stamp, but it keeps positioning the same way, even if I move it... So I think I will have to leave it this way :/...
