Welcome to the blog today, Charmane here to share a layout created in
muted tones to remember Fathers Day last year. Foster puppies and our
girls all in for a photo with my hubby along with our son.
Using the Chained Hearts adds the feeling of love in a masculine way
to evoke the feelings on this special day. Mixing 49 and Market Laser
Cuts with 2Crafty Chipboard creates lots of layered details.
2Crafty Chipboard used...
Framed Chained Hearts
Foliage set 3
Title- Love this Life
Photo Adornment Flourish set 4
Mini Number Panels
I love laying an open frame over my photos to make them a focus of
the layout. The Chained Hearts were painted with Blue and Tan
Watercolours and then a little Old Silver wax was rubbed over
randomly. This allowed them to blend with my muted tones.
Foliage sets by 2Crafty are so versatile and I love how they can be made to
blend with my composition. Painting with one colour randomly and then
adding a second metallic silver Watercolour, allowing some Gesso to peek
through gives a soft finish. A little water helps blend so you don't have harsh
lines. Perfect tucked with flowers.
I wanted to add some finishing detail but nothing too feminine so the
Adornment Flourish pieces were enough for a little spiral attribute. They
were given the same treatment as the Foliage set above. In the top corner
of the above photo is a Mini Number Panel reflecting the number of
subjects in the photo.
What a beautiful title to reflect my hubby being a wonderful Dad and
Foster Dad to three gorgeous puppies on Fathers Day. After
Watercolouring it I sponged a little Gesso over the first words to
highlight them. I used a slightly darker Blue on Life so it would stand
out. Thanks for stopping by and I will be back soon with another post.
Until next time...
