As promised, I'm back today with:
- Another page to demonstrate the papers which 3DJean is currently giving away here [Go! Enter! You only need to leave your name to win! Paper! Run!]
- And another take on this page sketch I shared yesterday:
This time round I've shifted the photo down and across and rearranged the extra embellishment/title areas:
[Firstly - a small confession - the paper I used as the background for this page is not part of the giveaway ... mainly because I used 2 sheets of it before we decided to give a set away! So, unless any of the DT have a spare sheet ... this design is not in the set.]Apart from the patterned papers, the additional layers on this page are made from a mix of ephemera:
- the photo is matted on to a Bingo game sheet;
- the patterned vellum came from a brochure
- he upside-down numbers [top left] are from the edge of a vintage map;
To emphasise and define all the layering, numbers included, I used my usual method of raising each piece using 3D foam:
In yesterday's scrapbooking post I mentioned how I'd repeated a shade of soft green across the page for balance, and I've done the same thing here, only this time with the 'swimming-pool-blue' shade.
Obviously the colour was taken from ... you guessed it ... the swimming pool in the photo ... then I introduced the matching shade from the Bingo sheet.
Next I wiped blue acrylic paint through some mesh tape [which you cna find in several Blank Looks packs here]:
And finally, I stapled down some turquoise faux-suede cord and co-ordinating bunting:
Here's the whole thing again, so you can see how it all balanced out in the end:
-------------------------------------------
Don't forget to throw your name into the hat - over here on the 3DJean blog - to be in with a chance of winning the papers.
And feel free to use the sketch in your own projects too.
I've still got another page and 2 cards to share using this set of papers so I'll be back with those in the coming week. But before then:
- I've got my Month in Numbers post coming on Monday - I forgot to remind you about it this month ... so I hope some of you are still planning to play along!
- And I feel an 'Overheard' post coming on ...
Julie :-)

ReplyDeleteLovely page! Love all the layering.
ReplyDeleteReally interesting to see another 'take' on it, Julie. I love the upside down leaf on its own little piece - looks as if it has escaped from the background. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this page - there's a little less layering on it than your usual layouts and the 'simplicity' is really appealing x
ReplyDeleteAnother stunning page, Julie. Your sketch really caught my eye and you can see what I did with it here: http://suburbansahm.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/julies-sketch.html
ReplyDeleteI did get around to using your sketch Julie so thank you. Another completed page for the album :) x
