Monochromatic Monday

I did two monochromatic sample pages for my National anthem challenge for this past VSBN. My challenge was to make a page using the colors or your country’s flag and use the kissing technique.

Journaling reads: This is my grandmother Audrey Harris MacLellan while she was still Audrey Harris MacLean. She worked as a cook in Halifax away from her home in Cape Breton. I believe that is where she met my grandfather when he was a WWII soldier before going overseas.

Stamps: fancy corner, Best Blossoms, Brushstroke Alphabet
Paper: Real Red, Whisper White
Ink: Whisper White craft ink , white Souffle pen, black pen
Extras: buttons, ribbon

Here is the second sample page with the reverse kissing technique. I inked up and then stamped off on the Background stamp before applying it to the paper.

Journaling reads: This is my Mom in the late '40's visiting her Uncle Fred and Aunt Helen Younker. Back then, a trip to the city was an occasion so she was always excited to visit them.

Stamps: Linen Background, Best Blossoms, Brushstroke Alphabet
Paper: Real Red, Whisper White,
Ink: Real Red, black pen
Extras: buttons, ribbon

Scrapbook Sunday

Here is a layout I made for a 12x12 Double page spread scrapbooking swap. I finally finished them. I did 5 of these and will get 4 other layouts back. The colors are very bright. Too bright for my camera it seems. Every pic I took is blurry and the color is extremely off. I used SU’s Stipple Rose, Best Blossoms, and Letterpress Alphabet stamp sets, and holographic EP on the images and edges of the photo corner. The first page holds a 5x7 pic and the second page, 2 4x6s.
