Here's a closer look at the masculine layout I created for
Zva Creative last week.
I really went to town on this one & HAD FUN!
Something about this boy always brings out my funky side!!
I wanted to show how you can use BLING ON A BOY PAGE even though most people would initially not even consider the idea.
I built up my background with mists & stamps & used Prima alphas on my title (which I then went over with some matte multi-medium to secure).
I overlaid an entire bling flourish on top of a mess of tangled threads, which muted the 'bling' of the flourish, thus making it more manly.
I printed my photos small & my sentiment card large, to switch things up a bit.
I used some giant rhinestones from Glitz Design 'Yours Truly' Collection, as is the patterned paper base.
Thanks for stopping by today!
I hope I have inspired you to break out the bling on your boy pages :)
