Hello and welcome to February! I have a new layout to share today! I started with this PageMaps sketch that was part of one of the challenges at Lasting Memories:
I needed to make a two page layout for these photos, so I used the sketch for my left hand page. I also added a sketch to work with the number of photos I had. The scrappy twist to this challenge was to use tags. I got out some blank manila tags and went to work. I wanted the colors to match the muted colors of my wood patterned paper, so I covered the tags in white gesso. This prevents the inks from absorbing into the paper and leaves the colors muted. I then sprayed and splattered the tags with yellow and blue and green inks. Once they were dry, I used some Distress Stains to add a little more depth and texture to the colors. Then I stamped with black archival ink to add further texture. After that was all dry, I went to work assembling the page. The patterned paper, tags and photos took up most of the page so there wasn't much to do after that. I used some stickers and my Cricut for the title. I found some coordinating embroidery floss to add to the tags, and finished off the embellishing with some canvas flair, stickers, puffy stickers, and enamel arrows.
Great job using the sketch as a springboard for a double page layout, and I love the fun photos and the cool title font! Thanks for playing along with the January sketches at Lasting Memories.
