Perfect Titles - Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone

Well that last month just flew by and it's my turn to share some creations with you again. This month I am sharing some boyish layouts of my son, but have also included one of my daughter to balance it out!

First up, I have used the very cool Cog Nested Frames. I have used three of the smaller cogs to frame some photos of Zane who was behaving rather cheekily for the camera. Then I have embellished my layout with the small Gears.

Of course 2Crafty always has the perfect title and I have used the Captured Moments title on this layout as it sums up what was happening on the day!

The cogs and gears I have coated in silver metallic paint. Once this was dried I used some black paint to cover over the top of the cogs & gears then wiped this off just leaving some pieces still with some paint on them. I love the grungy effect this gives them.

My title I inked in burgundy ink then randomly sprinkled on some embossing powder and heated it till it bubbled in places, then I rubbed some black chalk over the bumps:

 

The next layout I would like to share is another boy page -100% Boy. 

 

I have used the Barbed Wire and the small photo corners from the Corners and Nameplates Pack.  Both of these pieces I have simply inked so they show up nicely on the messy background:

 

The title piece - 100% Boy I have also inked, but this time I have used some older almost used up ink pads (pinecone, orange & green tea) and very lightly swiped over the chipboard. You can still see the original chipboard colour but a few differently swiped inks have added just enough colour and I love the grainy texture showing through.

 

And my final layout is a girly one, using the fabulous The Magic of You title and the most gorgeous fairy which I based the layout around. 

Both the title and the fairy were inked in white ink and then coated in stickles:

 

I have used one of the Delicate Butterflies set, and I have painted in this in pink metallic paint then added some pearls over the round cut-outs. 

The Ornate Fence I have cut in half. I have inked this piece in white then rubbed some gesso along the palings to give some depth:

 

And my fifth & final piece of 2Crafty on this layout is the Corner Whispy Vines which I have cut into two pieces, inked then dabbed gesso with my finger to give the leaves some texture, re-inked them and then swiped some gesso along the vines to soften the intensity of the green.

 

That's all I've got for you today,  hope it inspires you in some way!
