Hello again! Back with another 2013 publication in Scrap 365 Magazine, to share.
I remember that this was for the Weather Gallery. Now here in Durban we have
a lot more Summer than we do Winter. We have a couple of months of colder
days but I can usually last all year round in my flip-flops & just add a cardigan!!
As you can see I created my photo mats with washi tape, which was a fun
way of using it. I also misted & splattered a bit. I used to be a great fan of
long titles but haven't done them now for quite some time as alphas are no
longer in fashion compared to die-cut titles now.
I love fresh, white backgrounds. I think they are totally timeless & great as a base
for pops of colour, but I've also seen that for print publications they don't
photograph very well. The white alphas that look great here & in real life hardly
showed up in print (white on white = not a good idea for print pubs in future).
This is an example of how you can layer things up without making a very
bulky page. The Prima wood icons are thin, as is the washi & the die-cut
{Cheery Lynn} doily.
The Studio Calico mask is one that I don't use a lot {in fact I think I may have sold
it in my recent destash} as it's too modern for my style, but went well with the
SUN theme. Thanks for looking today!! Have a good week :-D
