Black, White and Silver Layout

Hi again, and welcome to join the monthly Design Challenge at Allt om Scrap! What I'm sharing with you today is my DT layout for this challenge, where the prompt is to create using the colours black, white and silver only. The challenge is open for participation until March 19, 2014.

I wanted to use the silver colour in particular, and I even had a photo with some silver in the little knight's helmet and armour. Not having a lot of silver coloured stuff in my stash, I began to alter my background and embellishments. I'm particularly happy with the background, which I stencilled with acrylic paint!



Hei taas, ja tervetuloa osallistumaan Allt om Scrapin kuukausihaasteeseen! Tehtävänä on luoda skräppisivu, kortti tai muu projekti vain mustaa, valkoista ja hopeanväriä käyttäen, ja osallistumisaikaa on 19.3. asti.

Halusin omassa leiskassani korostaa etenkin tuota hopeaa, varsinkin kun löysin kivan kuvan, jossa sitä on pikku ritarin varusteissakin. Mieleni on tehnyt opetella käyttämään metallivärejä enemmän, mutta tähän asti en ole oikein osannut eikä minulla siksi ollut myöskään paljon valmiita materiaaleja tähän.

Next, I painted some chipboard alphas and frames with black gesso. At this point I also had the Scrap Africa challenge in mind, where the February theme is to use altered chipboard. After the black gesso I gave them a silver embossing powder finish.



I did not want to use a lot of embellishments, because I wanted to leave room for the background and chipboards to show. But I did find a key and a couple of buttons that I think went well together with the rest of the layout, as well as some patterned tape, so that's what I added in the end!

Neulekuvioisella sabluunalla ja akryylimaaleilla tuli minusta hyvä tausta, ja seuraavaksi maalasin aakkoset ja kehykset mustalla gessolla. Siihen päälle tuli hopeinen kohokuviointijauhe. Osallistun tällä leiskalla myös Scrap African haasteeseen, jonka aiheena on itse koristellut puupahvi- eli chipboard-kuviot.

Paljon muuta koristetta en halunnutkaan laittaa, jotta tausta sekä "hopeoidut" aakkoset ja kehykset saisivat tilaa. Ihan pelkistetyksi en osaa leiskaa kuitenkaan jättää, joten viimeistelin sen parilla napilla, avaimella ja kuvioteipeillä.




Altering chipboard was a lot of fun and did not take too long, so I'm sure I'll want to do it again soon. Next I think I'll check out what others have done for this theme at Scrap Africa!

Pahvikuvioiden tuunaaminen oli hauskaa, eikä siinä kestänyt kauankaan, joten sitä voisin tehdä jatkossa enemmänkin. Menenkin seuraavaksi kurkkaamaan, mitä muut ovat aiheesta keksineet Scrap African haasteeseen!
