Hello there crafters! I can't believe May is here already; April was a busy month for me and seemed to fly by. I really wanted to start doing more layouts again, and decided to create a masculine layout for my "Silver Screen" album, which contains pages about favourite classic actors and movies, and this guy is my very favourite actor from the 40s/50s.
I used Blue Fern Studios Chesterville collection, Gypsy Soul Lasercuts chipboard and Tattered Angels mists and glazes.Papers and embellishments were distressed with brown, white and black inks, and I added bits of black thread here and there as well as machine stitching the paper strip below the photo. A variety of buttons from my stash were added, as well as a few items cut from the Graphic 45 A Proper Gentleman collection. The corrugate behind the photo was simply painted grey and lightly rubbed with ink.
It was fun to get my grunge on with this page; I like the contrast between the grungy background and the more formal photo-it's a bit of a metaphor for the versatile actor that James Stewart was.
Thanks so much for stopping by-hope you enjoyed seeing my page. Happy May! Stay safe and find time to be creative when you can....hugs! xx
