Hi everyone! I have some travel inspiration
for you today. My husband and I recently spent two months in the UK and Europe
and this photo is from our first night of our journey which we spent at an
airport hotel waiting for our very early morning flight to London. What better
way to record this photo than with the Dusty Attic travel themed chipboard.
I have made this layout using the amazing
Journey Custom Mixed Chipboard sheet which has so many perfect travel
embellishments along with a title and phrase strip. I used just about
everything off the sheet and I will walk you through the techniques I applied
to each of the elements.
Custom Mixed Chipboard #16
I chose a palette of blues, greens and
beige, pulling out the colours that were in the background papers and rubons.
For the journey title, polaroid frame and photo negative strip, I painted them
an army green and then sanded to distress them once the paint was dry.
To make the title pop, I covered it in
dimensional magic.
I painted the reels and compass blue. I
then added rubons to the centers of the reels before distressing all of these
elements with sanding. I painted the place marker and larger camera beige and
then sanded them and then layered them over the centre of the reels.
The phrase strip, globe and smaller camera
beige and then distressed them by sanding then edges. I love the worn effect
that the sanding gives to all of the elements – it softens the finish and
allows the colour of the chipboard to show through.
For the explore arrow, I initially painted
it green but didn’t like it. So I repainted it blue and when I sanded it I love
how the green peeps through along with the natural chipboard colour.
I absolutely love how this layout turned
out and it is going to be the perfect opening layout for my album recording our
travels.
I hope you have a chance to get some
creative time in soon.
