A Couple New Layouts

Ok, well, they aren't really "new" new, I did them back in November 2011, but they were for a DT call so I couldn't post them right away-as much as I wanted to! I'm really proud of the way they turned out, though they seemed to have drained my scrappy creativity!

For this one, I used Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists, as well as a couple of distress ink re-inkers to make the background, then I tore up a sheet of Twiddleybitz corrugated paper to make a 3 sided border. I also used their fence and gate accent, which I dabbed with a couple of Glimmer Mists on a tissue. I stamped the title on the front side of a sheet of vellum, then I sprayed and inked the back so it wasn't so stark. I used a couple of thin leaves of some sort from my stash (I've had them so long, I can't remember who they are made by). I also used the I-Rock for put the square copperish bling

 I made the background of this paper, which started as a piece of gray cardstock. I used distress inks, Glimmer Mists and re-inkers, then went from there. I covered real leaves with clear glaze and modge podge to stop them from crumbling, inked the chipboard etc

This one was fun!I took gradient shades of Tim Holtz distress inks, starting with yellows working up to reds, and worked them into a sheet of cardstock from the bottom left up to the top right in a circular way. Then I added a Tim Holtz Mask, grungeboard accents, also inked in distress inks, added a couple mosaic tiles and copper eyelet-snaps. The "Wild" and "Free" I stamped onto the page, then again onto Kraft cardstock, cut the Kraft letters out and placed them to make a shadow effect. I used a strip of Twiddleybitz corrugated cardstock at the bottom of the picture to help it pop.
