Lovely Layouts from Karen and Gloria

Today I am happy to share some layouts from two of our Design Team Ladies.

Karen and Gloria have two lovely vintage layouts to share with us.

The first one is from Karen and its the perfect male layout.

Sharing the Good Times is the perfect title for this layout.
Just look at all the detail and layering in this wonderful layout. You could look at it for ever and still find something new. Karen has done lost of fussy cutting as well, all the clocks have been cut out and raised up with foam dots.

 

 I love the finish Karen has given the chipboard.
To alter the ID chipboard, she first painted it with white gesso. Karen then used some Tim Holtz Embossing Ink and used Aged Mahogany and Weathered Wood to emboss it. After that dried Karen used some Vintage Photo Distress Stain to add some more aging. You can see it on the title "sharing the good times" and the bracket really well.

Karen used one of Tim holtz's masks and vintage photo distress ink on her background page, in the top left corner and underneath the title.

Supplies Used:
 Graphic 45 "A Proper Gentleman" Collection.
 Tim Holtz Mini Paper Clip and "inspire" tag.
Tim Holtz mask.
