Today I want to share a layout that I have created for Color, Stories and Inspiration as part of the design team.
This one was created for case file 195.
The colours in this case file are not colours that I would usually scrap so this was a little bit out of the box for me. I must add that once I started it, I now love it and may use this colour combo again.
I am doing school albums for each of my 3 kids and this one was perfect for my youngest son " Wade " for his first year of school. This is my " baby's " first day at Blacksmiths Primary and he just looked so tiny in his school shirt and over-sized hat. He does have shorts on even though you can't see them under that shirt. The back pack that he could hardly lift but was determined to carry. All ready..nope, no shoes yet !!
Distressed the edges then random punching,inking and doodling all around the edge. The background was stenciled with black crackle paint and then while it was still wet I added some black Micro Beads. I used some green Inka Gold paste and stenciled some squares randomly
then to finish it all off I inked a stencil and used it like a stamp to get the little circles.
This is case file 195
The case file elements
The Scheme - Sage/celadon green, teal green, orangey terracotta, olive/apple green and avocado green.
The Evidence - I used the following- stripes, polaroid frames, hearts, flowers, tiny brads, string, felt, ink splats and animals.
The Testimony - I took and idea from 1000 Awesome things and wrote about Wades first day at school which is under the title contained in a book I made from a jig saw piece.
Now for some of the closeups:
You can see al the layers in this photo. I love adding little animals on all my pages now albeit an owl, bird or lady bird or something else I can find in my stash.
So many layers of papers, jig saw pieces, punchinella, chipboard and cutouts.
,
'I took some large jig saw pieces and split them and then covered the two pieces with pattern paper. I used these as my start for all my layers. I added stitching and inked the edges of them also.I love the look of the Micro Beads on the background.
I used some polaroid frames in the layers with the bottom one having the date written with my Motex writer.
Don't use brads much these days so I love it when I can add a couple to my layouts.
Here I have a couple of black hearts each end of the banner.
I love using the cutouts to add elements to my layouts and in this one I used the
mushrooms plus a few others. Of course flowers : )
I added a couple of D-lish flairs too.
Finished the layout with the wooden dogs some black Dylusion splatters, some
pearly dots and clear sayings stickers.
