I’ve spent a little bit of time on the craft desk just lately, which is nice, as life typically will get in the best way. I have been having fun with taking part in with some just lately launched PaperArtsy merchandise and am blissful to share this mission at present – a mash up Scrapcosy and Kate Crane merchandise.
After I noticed the ‘Hidden’ theme we presently have, I made a decision it could be enjoyable to create a journal web page with a slider to disclose one thing. Then after I was allotted Scrapcosy ‘Mash up’ as my matter I made a decision to take it a bit of additional – with a double hidden factor – successfully 2 journal pages mixed into one.
It’s unimaginable to indicate the entire mission in a single picture, so I’ve 2 under: the ‘Closed and Hidden’ after which the ‘Open and Revealed’ one.
My beginning colors had been the blue / greens for the Scrapcosy a part of the mission. I then chosen contrasting colors for the Kate Crane revealed elements – I wasn’t positive this is able to work however through the use of the blue/greens on Kate’s photos it appears to deliver it collectively okay.
To start out this mission I wanted to work out the structure. The primary web page has 3 circles minimize out in order that the slider can go beneath. (See under)
The second factor is the flap that opens up. I wanted to color this on either side – for when it’s closed and open.
Right here is the slider panel proven from beneath, with the cardboard runners to maintain it in place.
With my backgrounds principally full I began on my focal photos. I stamped in black archival ink on tissue paper to permit me management over placement of photos and in addition so as to add a bit of color!
Now it was all coming collectively I added ending touches to the background – altering the color of the realm exterior the circles to match the sliding factor under.
To get these butterflies in the proper place I positioned the slider behind the circle apertures on the primary web page.
Okay, I did chop the ears off one of many geek photos. Sorry Kate! – however he simply did not match into the aperture on my web page along with his vertical ears.
I nearly neglect I wanted to color the precise journal web page this was all being adhered to. Some PaperArtsy Fresco Acrylic in Aqua Duck Egg and the flower stamp off ESC23 labored a deal with for this. Fast and simple.
Lastly, all by bits had been prepared for building.
Who’s hiding below there?….
