The Book of John

We saw Rhod Gilbert live last November, in his stand-up show called The Book of John, and I made this page for a couple of recent cyber-crop challenges.

Peartree Cut-Files asked us to make a page starting from a cut-file we love, and I'd already earmarked 'A New Chapter' as being the one to use with these photos (if I could successfully remove or cover the wording).

A week later, GoGoGetaway asked us to be inspired by alphas. I have loads of part-used packs and I do want to use up some of the older ones where I don't have enough letters left for any good words, but have too many left just to throw them away. I decided to use my tiny rub-ons here, having them fly out of the book.

I cut the book from black cardstock to match the dark backgrounds of the photos and backed it with a single piece of ombre paper. I chose a star print background paper that has some interest but is subtle enough to take all the lettering, and pulled the colours for my embellishment clusters from the printed stars.
