Today, is the 3rd day that the temperature has been above 0C and it is melting like crazy outside. Spring has finally started to happen up here in the Northwest Territories of Canada.
I decided I wanted to create a layout using Pattern 1 of the new Vol. 5 Make it from Your Heart how do book. This pattern has paper weaving which is a fun way to add dimension. I went into my old photos to find a photo to use and found this fantastic photo of me from 20 years ago. I can remember that spring day and some of the emotions I was feeling. Remember, it is never too late to tell your story.
I tried to create dimension in a variety of ways. I love the paper weaving and the off set photo mats. |
I love the dimension water colouring the flowers with the ink pads, adding clear shimmer brush and Diamond stickles adds to them. For added dimension I popped them up with foam tape. |
Doing the part of the title popped up on foam tape with the edges inked is another way to add dimension to a project. I also blended some Peacock Feathers distress oxide ink behind the title. |
Using an embossing folder, inking the edges of photo mats, layering photo mats and using foam tape are other ways to add dimension. |
Stamping along the outside of a photo mat. |
