Hi there!
Nathalie with you today with a new project that hopefully answers to some of your requests... Multiple photos, masculine layout, and a quick process. Well, this new scrapbook layout is a happy mix of the three prompts, the key was to start with one of the papers from the pre-made Mixed Media paper pad; the rest just came together in a flash...
The green tones of the paper where matched the tones in the photo perfectly. So, I decided to enhanced the background a bit with art crayons and glazes. First, I used the green art crayons from the neutral and Cool sets to add a stencil impression to the background. I matched the tones of green to the ones in the paper, this just adds a bit of interest to the paper.
Next, I added texture to the page by mixing a bit of Iridiscent and Prism glaze together to create the impression of the stars in the background ( the Prism glaze has been discontinued, and the stencil is from Vicki's past travel collection!) A bit of water diluted the leftover glaze, and this was added as splatters around the page.
My choice to color block the embellishments and background just help to enhance the colors of the page. I framed the photos with patterned papers that matched the cool color palette. Then added pieces of ephemera and stickers that matched the background colors.
I opted for a colorful title -icon ephemera pack-as it stands from the background, but also complements the colors of the papers and photos. You can watch how this page comes together in the following video:
I hope this project gives you an idea on how to incorporate multiple pictures, a masculine palette, and mixed media with Color Study! Remember you can always contact me with any questins!
