"These colors don't run!" Scrapbook page layout
This page celebrates my own patriotism. I have many old photos (mostly bad photos) from days gone by before I started to scrapbook. They all aren't great, but they all have meaning, so I want to use some of them for my scrapbooks. I wanted the stars and Statue of Liberty die cut to be a subtle accents, blending with the background. The stars were made with a Creative Memories punch and then inked with denim distress ink (Ranger ink). I didn't care for the color of the Liberty die cut so I sprayed it with Blue Hawaii Memory Mist (something cool happened here, keep reading). There is a sewn red thread border around the layout, I circled around 3 times. A single red matte for the photo collage. The flag embellishment is a "sweet stitches" by Just Jinger Designs. The wooden flourishes by Kaiser Craft were spray painted white, then arranged in a burst from the photos out.
LOOK WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I SPRAYED THE LIBERTY STATUE!
