Hi everyone! I am back
with some more inspiration from this month’s beautiful mood board – and with
the green and red colours of the board and the fact that it is December, what
could I do but scrap Christmas photos.
From the huge range of
Dusty Attic chipboard, I chose one of the amazing 12x12 Christmas frames, some
Christmas words and a title, which although it is not Christmasy, is perfect
for this layout of family and friends who can’t be together at Christmas. I
will take you through what I have used and what techniques I applied.
I started with the beautiful
frame. There is so much detail on this frame! I painted it red and then sprayed
it with an acrylic paint spray so that the finish had a shine to it. I love how
the red pops against the green paper that I chose for the background. The
strong contrast allows the details of the frame to really show.
I then worked on the title,
painting it with gold mica paint. This gold paint works perfectly directly on
the chipboard and gives such a beautiful shine. I attached the title so that it
works in with the photos. I love long titles with different fonts and this
title was 100% perfect for this layout.
The Christmas labels
are already black. The words are engraved onto the black chipboard. I didn’t
have to do anything to these as I really liked how the black worked with the
layout. I chose to use four of the labels – three in a cluster with the journalling
and one with a small cluster of embellishments above the start of the title.
I hope you have a
chance to get some creative time in soon – maybe you might get a mood board
inspired layout done!
