One of my favorite color combinations has to be Red and Blue. This, of course, gives me a certain soft spot for the beautiful Fourth of July papers. I love them so much that I am happy to scrap almost any subject using these gorgeous colors.
Over at Paper Issues, we are playing with just this and I can't wait to join in on the fun!
With my favorite Pink Paislee Declaration papers at hand, let's get scrappy!
I am in love with that paper and it just begs to be fussy cut!
After a bit of black sprinkling, Those fussy cut shapes are used as a mask for some white misting:
There we go, that should add a bit of depth:
Strips cut:
And the layering begins!
Tucking it in...
Stitching it on...
Photo added. I Love this shot of my dad and I back in the 80's.
Remember the fun fussy cutting? Time to add that beauty!
Likey so...
Now for the title. In the spirit of The Studio Challenges, I thought I would try a bit of "negative" action.
So, letters in place and paper laid out to protect the surrounding area...
And we mist!
Well, that's kinda fun, and actually quite positive! :)
How about adding some more rectangular misting to the upper left to balance that out?
OK, I think that is working for me...
Pen work to enhance the title area:
Journaling added:
And you all know I have to add in some washi! One of my favorite things to do is tear the strips in half:
Pretty!
Oh look, sequins and punchinella! YAY!
And with a few more touches I shall call it complete!
I am so in love with these colors!
In fact, I couldn't stop scrapping with them!
So, I made this:
And this:
And this... with all of the last little bits:
Oh, and I even made a tag! I will show you that one another time.
