Night Time Sparkle / Jackie Ashton / Sequins

Hi crafters, Jackie here with my take on this months challenge - Sequins and Glitter.

For this month my layout is very minimalistic for me.

Night Time Sparkle

The photograph is of the first time I saw the Eiffel Tower - not only at night, but it was on the hour and it was sparkling - the photographs didn’t capture the actual sparkle, as it was over very quickly - but I managed to get the spot light beaming from the top.

I wanted the background paper to be slightly distressed, so added a thin layer of white gesso and added some squeezed lemonade oxide ink over the top using the packaging technique.

I added some sequins to thread, which I criss-crossed on the page, adding a few sequins to each thread.

I printed 2 copies of my photographs and added 3D foam to them, adding a die cut frame, which I cut in half to the edges of the photograph and added 2 label under my photographs to add some journalling.

For the title I used some mini alphabets from my stash and the ‘sparkle’ word is from PinkFresh Studio Joyful Day collection.

Don’t forget to share your layouts over on our Facebook page, we would love them using months challenge.

Thats all from me this month, till next time.

Happy scrapping

Ariel ... / Jackie Ashton / No Cardstock

Hi UK scrapper, Jackie here with my layout this month using no cardstock background.

I’ve used the lovely new collection from Shimelle - Head in the Clouds and used one of my many disney photographs.

I wanted the background to be nice and bright to represent the brightness of the parade and remind me of the sunny and bright day it was, so I choose the yellow ledger as my background.

Adding a strip of patterned paper, which had mermaid on down the left hand side and add a punched border, down one edge of the strip of paper.

I added a simple layer of patterned papers behind the photograph and added some simple clusters around the page.

Don’t forget to share your layouts that you have done using this month’s prompt - no cardstock, we would love to see them over on our Facebook page.

Bye for now, happy scrapping
