A few techniques were used here....first I needed to make the shadow box, this is actually 5 layers of cardstock (bamboo) cut strategically to make a shadow box....the top layer was embossed with cocoa embossing powder using the wood grain stamp from the set D1477 Universal Backgrounds, then I filled in the non-embossed parts with cocoa ink and then layering all the pieces together. For the title "Family Values" I did just about the same. I cut out the letters with the Cricut AP cartridge ( 5 layers), adhered the layers together, distressed the edges and inked them. Next I cut out pieces of chipboard for each letter, distressed, inked and glued the letters to the chipboard to make the printer's block affect.
For the black and white photos, I colored sections with a variety of markers to give them color. Love this technique.

I totally love how these titles came out! I wanted to show how you could use CTMH products to make products like others on the market, totally, thinking outside of the box!
This was a total accident...I wanted crayons on my layout and the best things that happen to my layouts are always accidents, i just rolled paper and cardstock to make these really cute trinkets.
Wow! What a gorgeous layout! I can't believe that you made a shadow box out of card stock! It sure looks like wood. Your details are lovely too. My favourite is the picket fence at the bottom. Thanks for sharing, and I can't wait to see the rest of them.

ReplyDeleteThat's unreal!!! I even heard someone say, "How was she able to use wood?" You had many of us fooled. I can't wait to try this technique!
ReplyDeleteI missed this one! It is precious. You are one talented woman...as we have known, but you really outdid yourself!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing some of your techniques, I was trying to figure out what kind of wood you used! LOL one of the ladies that taught Extravaganza gave us this tip and I am so gonna try it. This was my favorite of all your LOs but I loved them all.
ReplyDeleteI'm speechless! Your work is amazing. I'd love to know how you did your "values" title. My dad was a newspaper guy in the old days of the linotype machine & that title reminds me of those days.
ReplyDeleteRanette, here is how I made the title.....I cut out the letters with the Cricut AP cartridge ( 5 layers), adhered the layers together, distressed the edges and inked them with cocoa, chocolate and black ink. Next I cut out pieces of chipboard for each letter, distressed, inked and glued the letters to the chipboard to make the printer's block affect.
