Compendium of Curiosities Week #12

Hello, all. I am really cutting it close today with my entry to the Compendium of Curiosities Challenge Week #12. This week's challenge was to use the chipped enamel technique. This is a fun technique involving metal, which has become one of my favorite materials for embellishments. I created a layout for my daughter's wedding album and the key at the bottom corner of the photo is done with the chipped enamel technique. I am also entering this layout in the Distress and Monochromatic (week 3 - Neutrals with a black and white photo) Challenges at scrapbook.com.

Mr and Mrs layout. This is my daughter and her husband after their wedding ceremony. I used a water distress technique on the background paper, misted it with Slate Glimmer Mist and added the matted photo. I completed the layout with Thickers vinyl alphas, small Prima roses in greys and white, and the chipped enamel key.

Snipz & Snailz layout. This is my son when he was 5 months old. I used a sketch from ScrapFIT's workout #27. I will also be entering this layout into the Monochromatic Challenge for Week 2 - Favorite Pastel with embossing.  I used various embossing folders to get the embossed circles and I inked over the patterns with Faded Jeans Distress Ink to make them more visible.

  3. Hi Celina! What a gorgeous layout! Your daughter and her husband make a beautiful couple, and you really did them justice with this great page! I love the crinkled background, and the chipped enamel key is the perfect accent!

    You baby boy is so adorable!

    Great work, two times over!
