Hello everyone! Welcome back to the blog.
Todays project is something a little different. The photo is certainly a little different! A little other worldly, maybe?
I messed around with this layout for a while (grrr) before I came to the decision to use all the colors in the photo instead of just using one or two. I think that even though it's a bit busy, using all the colors gives it uniformity. Hope you like it.
"You Hold the Key"
2Crafty Chippies used:
You Hold the Key to My Heart
Square Collage Panel
Ava's Frame
Flourish Adornment Set 5
Film Strips Medium
Starting at the top left, here is the flourish from the Flourish Adornment Set 5. I painted it with White Acrylic Paint then dabbed it a little with Grey Acrylic Paint. I tried to bring in a little of the grey from the right side of the patterned paper.
Also, I used the frame part of Ava's Frame on the photo painted with Grey Acrylic Paint.
I painted the Square Collage Panel that is here, and at the top under the photo, with Black Gesso and then dabbed it with Grey Acrylic paint. I tried with all the chipboard to bring in the greys from the right side to balance out the colors.
Finally, I only used "You Hold the Key" from the title piece You Hold the Key to My heart. I used "my Heart" on another layout a while ago. The titles from 2 Crafty are so versatile, you can easily cut them up to fit your project. I have done this a few times when it is either too big, or I needed part of a title, or just a word.
I painted it with Black and White Acrylic Paint to balance with the Film Strips.
I hope you like this and it has inspired you to try using all the colors in your photos when choosing your paper, chipboard and embellishments.
See you back in a few weeks......
