Layout 86: tag!

Hi!

My eldest son Alex went to a birthday party way back in April at a laser tag centre.  I've had these photos sitting on my desk since then, waiting for inspiration to hit me.  Finally it did, so I was able to scrap them.


Would you believe my inspiration was bubble wrap?  I used some of it to stamp the background!


I simply used my brayer and some Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint to 'ink' the bubble wrap, and then stamped the cardstock.  So easy, and yet so effective!  I like the rough look of it - not every bubble stamped perfectly.


Don't adjust your screens!  The above photo is meant to be sideways so you can see the journalling.  I was stuck on how to add the journalling because I didn't want it to stand out too much. In the end I decided to try more of the Shimmer Paint with my blender pen.  It was a bit tedious having to reink the pen so often, but I think the effort was worth it, as I got the look I was after!  You can see I sanded the edges of the photos to give them a border.

Stamps: Bubble Wrap
Ink: Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint
Cardstock: Basic Black
Other: Big Shot, Simple Letters Alphabet Dies, Brayer, Sanding Block, Blender Pen

Catch you later,

Tina

  1. Tina, I love the way you did the background! What a great idea, it gives a nice uneven finish which is perfect for this page.
