Sharing with a Splash

Hi Everyone, today we are sharing more layouts using Splash, our August Monthly Pack from Little Yellow Bicycle.  We're sure to see some interesting layouts with this one, as we have some very nice patterned papers in this range.  I hope you have yours... 

Fishing on the Dock of the Bay by Deb Pulford (CT)

Deb has cut the acetate sun in half to use as corner embellishments. A MS punch has been used to represent waves for the fish pp. The chevron pp has also been cut so that it looks a bit more like waves.  Very bright and colourful Deb, well done.  It gives the pack a totally different outlook when you see this one...

Remember by Jennie Seal (Guest CT)

Jennie has used a very simple yet effective variation to these bright colours by reversing one of the papers and using only one main colour.  With punches and masking on her layout she has added both texture and depth.  The brick wall was created with a mask and gesso, with smudges added to the background.  Three flowers were handmade and inked, then added to the bottom of the photo.

The fronds, birds and frame behind the photo have all been done using border punches, whilst the white flowers were made using a single punch.  Some doodling was added to the centres, and they have been shaped and mounted at random. Well done Jennie.

Let's Party by Jennie Seal (Guest CT)

Jennie has given her layout lots of colour by adding some contrasting misting.  The layout has faux stitching around the border, and beneath the mounted photo Jennie has used a border punch and patterned papers layered onto the webbing trim.  The transparency shapes are added and tie in beautifully.

The fish balloons have been fussy cut and mounted up. The string lines for the balloons have been machine stitched in various colours, which all look great.  The misted splash of colour behind looks great also.

The gorgeous red ruffled flower trim is used to adorn the photo, and the balloon strings.  The handmade rolled flowers look great in their bright colours,with a bit of fussy cutting of the coloured circle flowers.  Beautiful work Jennie. Welcome to the Team, I hope you have a great time playing.
