My layouts are usually quite simple in look, with very few embellishments. I tend to prefer busy backgrounds, either creating them myself, or altering papers I already have, as opposed to lots of embellishments or layers.
This is, I think, the simplest layout I have ever done and looks pretty good. In hindsight, I probably would have rounded the bottom corners of the photo to make it less jarring to the eye.
What I used:
- Kaisercraft Antique Bazaar Collection PS401 Bronze
- Zig Memory System Glue Pen
- American Crafts Pop Microbeads Leaf Shiny Finish
- irRESISTable Pico Embellisher Black
- Scissors and double-sided tape
What I did:
1. Fussy cut your photo and attach to page with double-sided tape. There are faint lines on the page. I lined the bottom of my photo up with one of those lines so the lean in the tower would be more noticeable.
2. Write your title at the top (again I used the lines on the page as a guide) using the pico embellisher
3. This page already had some small swirls on the right hand side. I went over these using the Zig Glue Pen and while still wet, poured the microbeads on, then tipped the page to remove the excess. You may have to do one swirl at a time.
4. There were no swirls on the left hand side, so I drew some with the glue pen using the ones on the right as a guide.
The layout is done!
