Another Hero Arts September challenge...

Title: Autumn's Last Aria

Pavadinimas: Rudens paskutinė arija

This is yet another page done for the Hero Arts stamping challenge for the month of September. I chose to make another fall-inspired layout and used all 4 Hero Arts stamps (see the photo below for an up-close view on how I pieced and layered all of these 4 stamps to make a unique tree):
*CG196 Canvas Stripes
*CG250 Small Open Flower
*CG251 Small Solid Flower
*B4963 Night Owl

This is a more decorative layout about my boys. This was the most beautiful, golden autumn's day at a local orchard: The light was perfect, I was able to capture incredible shots of my kids (sans the monster/goofy faces). It was such a magical moment that it seemed that it ought to be set to music. I love these photos of my kids, and I have many more from this day that will get scrapped in the future. I'm really fond of using photos from the same photo shoot, but telling stories from different perspectives.

Techniques:

Let me begin by saying that I really enjoyed the challenge inherent in making this layout. Because it is on a hemp background, and therefore I could not effectively glue items on, I ended up using my sewing machine and hand-stitching for permanently attaching almost all the items on this page.

The red background on the fabric was achieved by spraying Glimmer Mist while the edges of the hemp were masked off. 

Thank you for visiting me and for your kind words!

Irma

Štai dar vienas skrebukas įamžinantis  praeitų metų stebuklingą, nustabų, auksinį rudenį. Retai būna tokių dienų kada šviesa ideali, ir vaikai leidžiasi būti fotografuojami be monstriškų fizionomijų....Kaip ir štampuotas aprašymas puikiai apibudina: "Prisiminimuose viskas vyksta lyg pagal muziką." Nuo šios citatos gimė idėja pavadinimui: 'Rudens paskutinė arija', kadangi tai buvo paskutinė gražiausia rudens diena.

Apie techniką:

Kadangi pagrindas audinys, tai man tapo iššūkis kaip efektyviai viską pritvirtinti. Griebiau siuvimo mašiną (kuri šį kartą nesikapryzino net), ir dar kai kurias detales rankom priziuvau. Kad audinio pagrindas taptų stangrus, jis buvo pritvirtintas prie rudo 'kraft' spalvos popieriaus.

Viduj raudonas kvadratas pagamintas su Glimmer Mist purškiamais dažais (prieš purškiant uždengiau audinio kraštus atliekamo popieriaus ataižom).

Skrebukas gamintas Hero Arts antspaudų gamintojo konkursui tai apribojo man (geraja prasme) antspaudų pasirinkimą. Rezultatu esu patenkinta, galbūt ir Jum patiko?

Ačiū kad apsilankėte,

Irma
