Creating Movement

5th and 7th of August

This class focuses on creating movement in your layout. It is ideal to emphasise photos with movement already in them - photos of bubbles, splashes, kids or pets on the move, photos with movement blur or photos with the subject on the move OUT of them (we all have them right?).


Supplies Needed:

One photo 6x4" (landscape).
Two sheets of cardstock in contrasting colours.
One strip of patterned paper 12" long (good use for a scrap - I used black with pale spots)
Two pieces of patterned paper scraps (for circles).
One scrap of cardstock (for circles).
Small to mid-sized alphabet for a title (i hand wrote my title in white pen).
Flowers / stars etc as a accent.
Large brads for flower centres / accents.
Epoxy accents / rub-ons etc for accents.
Favourite journaling stamp if you have one.
Co-ordinating ink (for journaling stamp and also for inking around circles).
Fiskars circle template if you have one.
White gel pen (or one to co-ordinate with your cardstock) if you have it.
Ruler.
Scissors.
Pencil.
Sandpaper.


Techniques Used:

Fake stitching, "leading the eye", hand cutting, stamping, inking, hand journaling, sanding.
