Scrapbooking photos of my kids always make me so happy! When I saw that the paint ball paint colours on my son’s t-shirt reminded me of alcohol inks, I just had to create a piece of custom alcohol ink paper to use on this page that I titled A moment lasts forever.
Remember that your photos should always be the most important part of your page. I created this single page layout to compliment this happy photo!
Method:
I used textured black cardstock for the background. Celestial, Villainous, Intrigue, Envy and Alchemy from the Tim Holtz Alcohol Pearl ink range from Ranger, dropped on a piece of Yupo paper with some blending solution, created a vibrant focal point.
I added gold foil here and there onto the alcohol ink before it was completely dry:
Gold foil circles were added to the top corner of the page with my WeRMemorykeepers Foil Quill and my Silhouette Cameo.
It is always important to add some form of a date to a memory keeping project. I added the year and a circle with foil using the Foil Quill and my Silhouette Cameo.
The chipboard title form Celebr8 was inked with Black Soot Distress Archival Ink (Ranger). I stamped Versamark watermark embossing ink on top of that, and then I added clear embossing powder. It was then heat embossed using a Heat It craft tool.
I added different sizes of black pearls on green glitter card stock to create extra interest and finish off this page.
