This month we are featuring the Robin's Nest Hot Flame line. I have some pictures of my youngest son riding a Harley Davidson toddler scooter that I know will go perfectly with this paper. With that in mind, I created this 4 page layout. I used:
I think this paper is the perfect match for my little biker! The paper was a little bright for what I was doing, so to tone it down a bit I made a "wash" with gel medium in a matte finish and added a couple of drops of white paint and a couple drops of yellow ink. This gave me exactly the look I wanted. It was a more washed out, old look.
For the far right page I used the Mango Flame Border paper for the background. I created a pocket from plastic packaging. I used another portion of the Mango Flame Border cardstock and fussy cut the flames so that I could adhere them to the clear pocket so that I had a place to add a large tag. Adding the fussy cut flames above the patterned cardtock give the page a little more depth and more interest when your tag is out of the pocket. The second from the right page is a neutral page with a tag backed in Mango Cardstock given the same "wash" treatment. This pulls the pages together.
The second page from the left was created using the Mango Flame - Thermal Icing as the background. The paper has so much interest that you really don't need to do too much with it. I simply added a filmstrip die cut with a an insert to attach the photos so they can be pulled out revealing the patterned carstock behind. I might even put two more photos behind the tag so that this page can now hold 4 pictures. The first page from the left is another neutral page with a Harley Davidson sticker to finish it off.
My hot tip for this project is to use aluminum plumber's tape. I ran it through my diamond embossing folder and voila . . . faux diamond plate! I love the way this finishes off the layout.
Keep an eye out on my blog as I post more pictures using the Robin's Nest Hot Flame line. Make sure you hop over to the Robin's Nest website and check out all of their fabulous products.
