She Has Fire In Her Soul | Karen Moss | Large Photo

 Hello - Karen here with my November page using a large photo.  

I originally had the photo printed out 8ins x 12 ins but decided to chop the right side of the photo off as it had other people, who I didn't know, on that side.

I used Steampunk Safari from Uniquely Creative for my papers and embellishments, distressing and inking the edges of the cardstock and paper. 

I tore two sections from either side of my main piece of paper and rolled the edges back, inking these too. The top right corner of the paper was turned back so that I could add some embellishments underneath. 

From one of the papers I fussy cut lots of flowers, loving the orange tones of this range, and added these underneath the two torn sections, extending them across the top left of my page.

The tags were cut from a 'cut-a-part' sheet from the collection and I added a few cogs, tags and a hot air balloon from the diecut pack.

I used glittery letters on the space at the top left of my photo for a long title.

I had several photos printed 8 x 12 so am looking forward to using those soon.

Please show us your take on using a large photo on a page on our Instagram feed or our Pinterest board.

There are more pages that our talented DT have made on there too. 

You can see how I made this page here on our YouTube Channel. 

Stay safe

Be Strong, Be Brave, Be Fearless, Be Yourself | Karen Moss | Vertical Design

Hello, Karen here with my March page for UKSA and this month we are focussing on vertical designs.  Now, I usually make pages with horizontal or diagonal designs so this was a little different for me but I have to say I really like the end result.

When I saw the Bouquet paper (with its vertical flower and owl design) from the Uniquely Creative Wise and Free range the design of my page was decided - how easy to just cut that out and add it to my layout. 

To emphasise the vertical design elements I punched a piece of pink card to back my fussy cut flourish of flowers.

I then cut the gray flowers from two pieces of paper to add either side, along with some additional flowers to add to my central flourish.

All that was left to do was to add my photos and use some of the words from the 'fussy cutting' sheet for my title.

You can see my process video here - but I will apologise in advance as the storage on my phone was full and it kept cutting out and missing bits 🙄🙄
