January Challenge by Debbie


Reader Debbie submitted this layout for the January New Challenge. She said, "Here is my New technique-I painted the whole background of my 2-page layout to represent the clothing that the skaters are wearing in the photos. I used 4 acrylic colors and did a graffati look. I then matted the photos and tore the edges in two spots and added a red cord to make it look like the skater's leggings . I am really happy about how this turned out and it was fun to do. I will be doing this technique to futurelayouts. http://debbiebakk.blogspot.com/2011/01/painting-on-project.html

Now it's your turn to take the January Challenge. See all the details HERE!

    At first glance I loved the paper with your photos, then I read that you created the look yourself! Well done!

    I just love paint on a layout! I really like how the paint strokes are very much like the scratchy ice after all that skating... it gives it movement. It's a gorgeous LO!

    This is awesome - and I love how you used the paint to make your paper match your pictures - soooo clever.

    I must try this some time.

    Thanks so much for sharing here at Scrap Our Stash.
