Thank You For Another Wonderful Scraplift Challenge!...Londoncuppa Has A Wonderful Gallery To Choose From & I Wasn't Sure Which To Choose But I Spotted The Perfect Page To Lift:
This Page Was From The MOC6 Daily Challenges & This One In Particular Caught My Eye For Many Reasons...Firstly That Adorable Corgi...My Sister has A Corgi Too!...So Cute!...But The Main Reason Is The Mosaic Technique That Is Used Here...I Have To Admit That I Am Just A Little Bit Obsessed With This Technique...I Have Already Done 2 Layouts Using This Technique & This Page Gave Me The Opportunity To Do Another!...Yeah!...
*Firstly My Layout Was Fashioned In The Same Colors...Blues/Golds/Browns/Black But My Layout Looks Completely Different...Aside From The Same Color Usage & The Use Of The Mosaic Technique I Went In A Completely Different Direction...*
*As Some Of You May Know By Now Using Multiple Photos In One Layout Is My Favorite Thing To Do & Taking Each Photo & Applying Different Techniques To Each One & Also Applying Completely Different Effects,Brushes,Overlays Etc To Make Each Picture Look Completely Different But Blend Properly Into The Layout's Color Scheme & Theme...*
*We Are So Weary Of Snow Here & Most Of Our Thoughts Are Thinking Ahead To Warmer & Milder Spring/Summer Weather...So Hence The Beginning Of My Theme...The Idea Of Summer Fun & Just Jumping Off The Dock/Platform & Splashing Into That Warm Summer Water Seems & Sounds So Inviting...It Also Brings To Mind The Idea Of Taking A Leap Of Faith & Venturing Into A New & Upcoming Season With An Open Mind & Hopes For Many Wonderful Adventures Ahead...*
*For My Mosaic I Decided To Do Something Different & Only Mosaic Part Of The Photo Leaving The Top Portion Visually Open For A Neat Look & Effect To Emphasize The Man Who Is Jumping Into The Water So You Can See Him Clearly Jumping Off...The Result Was So Much More Appealing Than I Thought It Would Be & So Off I Went To Add More Effects To Each Photo...I Copied The Original Photo 15 Times & Took Each Photo & Applied Different Effects & Even Different Techniques Layered Together To Form The Individual Results Per Photo...I Also Took One Photo & Turned It Into The Paper Background You See Blended With 2 Shades Of White/Grey Paper...One Being Crinkled...The Result Was A Background That Had More Pop Than Without It & Then I Shadowed & Added Once Again More Effects...To Finish Off The Layout As It Looked Kind Of Bare In Spots To Me...I Applied A Puzzle Brush To Each Photo That I Recolored & Some Confetti That I Also Recolored To Match My Color Scheme & A Hollow Frame Design Of A Star/A Heart/A Star & An Arrow To Each Of The Center Sections To Provide Cohesion To Each Photo & Lastly I Put In A Starburst Element In Behind The Middle Section Photo To Make It Pop A Bit More & Finally It Looked Cohesive To Me & Finished The Layout Off Properly...*
