Adventure Awaits | Sarah Costain | No Cardstock

Sarah here today with my take on the no cardstock challenge.

I love creating mixed media backgrounds so for this challenge I added clear gesso to a seascape patterned paper.  I could then build up layers of paints stamping and pastes on top.

To help my photo stand out from the busy background I used layers of textured material and distressed patterned paper behind it.

I added my title to the side of my photo to draw the eye across the page.

Lots of seashells and nautical elements added to the theme in the photo.

Some splashes of bronze and white ink over the layout tied it all in together.

You can check out the process in more detail over on the UK Scrap Addicts YouTube Channel 

Thanks for joining me today :)

The Last Jedi | Giselle Homer | Monochrome

Hello everyone,

Giselle here with my first Blogpost for UKSA, I'm really pleased to have been chosen to join the team and I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone who visits the blog!

Following this month's monochrome theme, I have used a white base and then different tones of blue for my page. I used a cut file from the Silhouette store and placed a couple of stars on the base before spraying it with Heidi Swapp Colour Shine Ocean.

I also sprayed a spare piece of card with differing strengths of blue and used it to back fill some of the stars in the cut file. The other stars were backfilled with coordinating patterned paper.

I placed a couple of tags behind the photo, plus some enamel stars and dots to highlight it. I tucked a double circle tag behind them for the date and place.  

Finally I added the title using a Pinkfresh Studio puffy alphabet in navy blue.

I hope you're all enjoying the monochrome theme and hope you'll join in and share your layouts with us on our Facebook page.

Happy Scrapping!
