Starting with a sheet of patterned paper, I cut out an apple shape to emphasize the iPhone theme. A strong shape works best for this, I think. I'm going to try a heart next, or a house.
Then I laid the patterned paper over a sheet of cardstock and drew round the apple shape. Then I laid strips of paper and a line of rubons inside the apple. I'm thinking of using lines of stitching the next time maybe?
Finally I layered the patterned paper over the cardstock to line up exactly with my shape and added the rest of my elements:
What do you think? It would work for a layout all in one colour, maybe for a wedding or a baby page with rows of little buttons or cross stitch motifs. I might give it a go.
Today I'm Loving...The photography class I'm starting at Get It Scrapped

ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea Sian and I love your other suggestions too. I look forward to seeing the one featuring stitching. Enjoy your photography class.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I like this muchly! The layout AND the technique, I mean... Will definitely be trying this xx
ReplyDeletewhat a great little concept. I can imagine tons of uses for this! Will have to scraplift at some point!
ReplyDeleteI've learnt a new word! Scraplifting! What a great description. Oh - and yes, think I'll be doing a bit of 'scraplifting' too, this is a great technique.
ReplyDeleteNow, I would never think to do this in a month of Sundays! Looks fabulous :-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks so effective, Sian....definately an idea to borrow.

LOVE this idea! So creative and I love how it looks :)
ReplyDeleteI really like this technique.
ReplyDeletecreative! (:
Hi Sian..thanks for dropping by & leaving a comment..I am loving your LO & that's a great technique...I might lift that & weave the paper strips in the cut-out! the light isn't good today is it...I may try & get out & about with my camera tomorrow morning, weather permitting!! Enjoy your new phone!!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, I might use this on a wedding layout, of which I still have about a million to do...!!
ReplyDeleteA fab idea! Ever thought of using some foam-core, corrugated cardboard or mount board between the layers, to give even more depth?
ReplyDeleteI like how you did half the apple behind the patterned paper and the other half on top. This could work for so many things. I might have to "borrow" your idea too!
Love the depth!! Such a simple technique, but it really makes a big difference. Great page.
ReplyDeleteI love it and I love my iPhone! I can't iphone yet either. The apps I have are quizquizquiz, a vampire quiz *dies of shame*, alarm clock, facebook and echofon.
ReplyDeleteHavent set emails up yet, although not a bad thing, means work cant get me TOO easily! :)
Great idea! I took Katrina's class last summer and learned a lot.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I love how this turned out - and your photo of it at the end is very cool too! :o)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I love how your page turned out.
