This LO posed several challenges. I chose to use bright (but NOT TOO BRIGHT) colors because the photos are old (1979) and the colors are washed out. My bedroom was actually creme and light blue, but there was no sense in tryng to bring that out in these photos. They were taken by my late grandparents and I’m so grateful to have them even though the photos aren’t super. Because I was working on the reverse side of another LO (that had embellishments and texture), the stamping did not come out very well. I covered up the middle stamp with a ribbon and I just let the owl go—live and learn. I’m happy, however, with the colored photo corners. They really made the LO much prettier and helped disguise the fact that the photos aren’t great. The photos were also cropped with rounded corners (which I didn’t like), so the photo corners helped with that.
PP: Martha Stewart; ALPHAS: Thickers (American Crafts); RIBBON: American Crafts and Martha Stewart Decorative Tape; STAMPS: owl (Inkadinkadoo) and border stamp (Anna Griffin); INKS: Lavender and Silver (ColorBox); EMBOSSING POWDER: Rainbow Sparkle Lite (JudiKins); PHOTO CORNERS (waste not paper).
Thanks for spreading positivity!
