Histoires de Pages - Let’s talk layouts / Issue #53 - SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER 2013 - (Page 34)

Give yourself a makeover session! Here again is our now traditional makeover session. This time, it was up to Benedicte and Carole to turn two layouts sent to us by our readers into a different style from the original. The result is stunning... Do not hesitate to send us your pages in turn! by Carole Maurin and Bénédicte Raphalen « Concentration (Focusing) » by Christelle Fontaine Before Christelle already scrapped this page 7 or 8 years ago! In this version, there is a very sleek and graphic style which allows ample room for the photo. Only a few brads placed symmetrically decorate the layout. The title and journaling are printed on a computer. After Carole opted for a rather over-ornate romantic style with respect to the original layout! She began working on the photo from an online editing site http://pixlr.com/o-matic/ in order to bring out the colors and give it "grain" as well as an antiquated appearance. After sanding the papers and select ing die-cuts in various shapes, she layered the whole under the photo to focus the eye on the picture. The roses and sequins add a soft and feminine touch to the whole thing. Supplies: papers (Heidi Swapp, Crate Paper), die-cuts (Simple Stories, Pink Paislee...), stamp (Inkadinkado), sticker (Crate Paper) « Inspire » by Carole Maurin 34 HISTOIRES DE PAGES - SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 2013 http://www.pixlr.com/o-matic/
