I now can't find the original sketch I used for this, the horizontal elements were originally paper strips, but I decided that I wanted a completely stamped layout.
Background paper is from Craft Creations, and the stamping is done with a combination of Stampin' Up and Paperartsy grunge stamps in various shades of brown. I drew the circle around a template, moving it slightly twice so I got the multiple lines. The title is die-cut - I freely admit I chickened out of stamping it direct to the page I had worked so hard on!!
This is actually my second attempt at this page .... the first time, I managed to complete all the stamping, attach the photo, write the journaling - then I dropped an inkpad on it. I couldn't find a way to make the resulting ink mark look as if it was meant to be part of the grunge - so I had to start again! Second time lucky :-)
Lovely stamping and a great layout.
ReplyDeleteI did smile on reading about you dropping the ink pad! How often does that happen to us, at the last minute wrecking a LO we have worked hard on? Well done you on starting again, it was weel worth the effort.
