TCR #34 Palette: A layout titled 'New Scooters'...

Title: New Scooters

Pavadinimas: Nauji paspirtukai

My page was inspired by this week's vibrant 'The Color Room ' Palette #34. It is just a perfect palette to convey the energy and sportiness of young boys.

Techniques used: There's LOTS of layering here (I got carried away a bit), and many different techniques as well: 

• The brick wall was embossed using grunge board and a Sizzix/Tim Holtz Alterations embossing folder,  which was the 1st item to pass through my brand new Vegabond die cutting/embossing machine.

I've had a few manual die cutting machines, but this is the 'creme de la creme' of them all. If you love Tim Holtz's vintage style of products, this just exudes vintage charm. But that is just the surface appeal. The functionality is unsurpassed. I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet the motor is — a very important consideration since I scrap late at night when everyone is sleeping. This is the best scrap-related purchase I have made this year!

• Moving along about the techniques: There's lots of metal on this page to suggest the shiny chrome finish of the scooters; I've incorporated a disassembled zipper, metal snaps, silver-rimmed tags, brads, staples, etc. The title word 'new' is even foiled in silver finish.
• To add some softness to this page (after all this IS about toddler boys, not punk rockers:), I sewed a top border with fabric gaffer tape and die cut felt.
• Stars are sprinkled everywhere for added pizzazz.

Thank you for looking and taking the time to comment :)

Šis skrebukas buvo pagamintas specialiai 'TCR/Spalvų Kambario' tinklalapiui, pagal jų parinktą paletę (pavaizduota viršuj).  Spalvos puikiai perteikia berniukų energiją ir sporto temą. Nuotraukoj abu sūnus su naujom dovanom - individualiai išrinktus paspirtukus, kuriuos tą dieną pirmą kartą išbandė. 

Apie techniką:

• Plytų sienos reljefas yra pagamintas naudojant Tim Holtz 'grunge board' kartoną kurį praleidau per viršuj pavaizduotą elektroninį kirtimo/embosinimo aparatą 'Vegabond' (pirmą kartą naudaujau šį žaisliuką :) Toliau kartonas sendintas su Distress rašalais.
• Šiame puslapyje panaudojau nemažai metalo (užtrauktukas, metalinės sagės, vinukai, rėmeliai, netgi pavadinimo žodis 'new' yra su sidabro folija), kad atkartotų naujų paspirtukų chromos blizgesį.
• Bet...kad puslapis netaptų apie pankus, 'suminkštinau' kietas detales panaudojant medžiagos juostelę (žalia), ir veltinio kraštelį kuriuos abu prisiuvau siuvimo mašina.
• Kad nuotraukų įvairios spalvos nesipeštų su nustatyta palete, nuotraukas užsakiau juodai baltas.

Ačiū už komentarus ir dėmesį ;)
