I'm starting in October (why not?) when the Red Devils Army Parachute Display Team did a water jump near us. I'd printed three square photos but I really wanted to scrap them with a sense of movement rather than in a static row or column. Stick It Down had the perfect sketch this month where I could place my 'sky' photo at the top and my two 'landing' photos at the bottom.
I started with a plain white cardstock background which I coloured with stormy sky distress ink and silver acrylic paint. I replaced the diamond shapes from the sketch with pieces from an arrows cut-file which I cut on my Silhouette using a blue cloud print paper with small aeroplanes.
I matted all my photos on black cardstock and then added red cardstock and a chequered paper on two sides of each one. I cut the title from red and black on my Silhouette, and added puffy stars in the same colours to opposite corners.

ReplyDeleteAwesome layout, you did a great job showing "movement"...very cool pictures! I love your bold title, inking, and arrow shaped die cuts. Looks like the Red Devils were super cool to watch, and you did an amazing job showcasing the event! Thank you for joining us at Stick It Down-Sharon DT
ReplyDeleteLovely layout, I love what you did with the geometric shapes, it looks really neat! And I love how the red and black pop against the background! Thanks for scrapping along with us at Stick It Down this month!

This looks like a fun thing to watch! I can't believe you've finished your 2020... there wasn't even much in terms of events to scrap but I'm still not done.
