Layout about Paris subway. Color scheme is based on the colors of subway seatings: orange&blue inside of the train and bright-green on the platform.
The background paper is a simple ivory watercolor sheet embossed BY HAND! Yes, I'm kinda crazy, but I wanted to have brick texture like on the subway walls and couldn't find a ready-to-use paper. Used Fiskars plates for that.
At the local store I found some funny buttons: orange and blue with stripes and a variety of green ones. And a sheer ribbon with the same gradient of two widths.
I used felt (orange and blue) as mats and stitched the photos to the mats with a contract thread. Added a few subway tickets (they luckily had orange&blue marks too!). And a cardstock sticker "Matropolitain"
The title in the upper left corner is done by painting the orange velvet paper with blue paint and I cut the letters with scissors (no die-cutting machine used =) ).
Journaling is handwritten on vellum.
And Also the right photo: of the seatings on the platform. I made a clear acetate flap, which can be lifted to view the photo, and on the acetate I wrote some journaling and glued the eyes to make the seats look like funny smileys =)
