Color Cutters really give the page the allusion of depth. Using a great digital camera will get you wonderful pictures. My knight photo was taken at a Renaissance Faire where the knight was galloping on his horse. I cropped the lovely picture to 5x7. What better supplies to go with this wonderful picture than Club Scrap papers and stamps from their Renaissance kit along with a few metal embellishments. These items bring out the Old English quality to the layout even more! Instructions: 1. To make the background, I used the guild stamp, embossing ink, and gold embossing powder. I stamped the guild stamp onto the gold cardstock with the embossing ink and heat set it. My trick for doing a background is to work in segments. Stamp a few times, and then sprinkle and heat set the embossing powder. Then go on to the next part of your cardstock. 2. I cut the blue renaissance paper with the gold color cutter so that it was 1” smaller than my background cardstock. The color cutter leaves a nice, even colored edge to anything you cut with it. This paper came with the guild edge which made my job so much easier. I attached it to my background cardstock with double sided tape and set it aside. 3. Next on the agenda was matting the knight photograph. I took a piece of Club Scrap gold guild cardstock (complete with guild) and attached my photo to it with double sided tape. I used the Perfect Layers Rulers and the gold Color Cutter to cut a mat around the photo. I used a ¾” ruler edge. Since I wanted my page to appear as if one were looking out a castle window, I made some corners by cutting 2 squares and stamping them with the guild stamp and embossing with the gold powder. I cut the squares in half to make my corners. I attached them to my photo with bits of double sided tape. Then I attached the matted photograph to my page. 4. My layout was missing something so I took a bit of scrap gold cardstock, the same cardstock I used to make my corners. I cut a strip and embossed with guild stamp and gold powder. I cut it to size with the gold color cutter and added a Making Memories embellishment which reads “Once Upon A Time”. I attached it to my page using the Karen Foster Clikit to make my holes and attached Chatterbox rivets to hold it in place. I used Diamond Glaze to attach my ivy and leaves embellishments to the side of the photo mat. To finish my layout, I cut the word “Renaissance” out of extra guild embossed paper that I created for my corners and bottom strip and attached it with sticky dots to the top of the page. I will be adding a second page to this layout with more knight photos and the poem by Conrad Aiken called “And In The Hanging Garden”. I hope my layout fills you with a sense of the magical renaissance time when kings sat upon their thrones and knights fought in challenges to show their might.If you would like to print this technique including a near-full size image of the layout, click here.
