Hello everyone,
For my second layout in September, I chose a beautiful and tender photo of my new granddaughter Lyana with her mother. This is the first layout I have created with a photo of Lyana, but it certainly will not be the last!
"Priceless Memory"
2Crafty Chipboard used:
To complement this precious memory, I selected the Priceless Memory, Corner Swirly Heart Set, and Foliage Set 18 chipboards. The large heart perfectly represents the bond between mother and daughter. The foliage blends naturally into the floral design of my layout, and the title was an obvious choice for this very special moment.
I started by covering all the chipboard pieces with a thin coat of white gesso before adding the colors.
I placed the large decorative heart from the Corner Swirly Heart Set beneath the photo, with one of its beautiful swirls extending under the embellishment cluster on the left. I colored the heart with Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide, then highlighted its edges with Vintage Photo to add more depth.
The heart is an important part of my composition and creates a lovely flowing movement beneath the photo. I applied the colors lightly to preserve all its delicate details, then added a few white splatters to help it blend with the rest of the layout.
I arranged the pieces from the "Foliage Set 18" around the photo and among the flowers. I used Bundled Sage Distress Oxide, along with highly diluted Arctic Blitz ink from 49 and Market, to create soft shades of green and blue that coordinate beautifully with the papers.
To finish, I colored the "Priceless Memory" title with Cappuccino ink from 49 and Market and added a few touches of Vintage Photo Distress Oxide. I kept the coloring even across the entire title so that it would blend harmoniously into the composition.
