January 18 - Create Your Own Cluster

beautiful page lynn, fabulous cluster

 

Yikes! this is going to help me to learn shadows and fast! hehehe. I barely ever cluster stuff as I like clean and simple. Looking at those layouts already posted let's me know that I can do this and it's not toooooo daunting.

Thanks for the challenge... going to find something(s) to play with.

 

Day 18 - Create your own cluster



Products:
All About You by The Lilypad Designers

Requirements:

• design a cluster with at least 12 elements from the provided list: I used labels, branches and pre-made paper tears/bits summing up to 14 in total (excluding the staple) - please find detailed list below
• include drop shadow for each item included in cluster - I did this in hybrid so I added lots of different foam pads to create dimension and layers - please see detailed pictures below

List items I used to create the cluster (layers from bottom to top):

1. light orange label (APennington_AAY_Label (3))
2. branch top right corner (nbk-AAY-stem)
3. ripped paper piece “Notes” (rjefferies-AAY-FWP2-journalspot) + real staple as replacement for printed staple
4. light grey label (APennington_AAY_Label (2))
5. old rose label (APennington_AAY_Label (7))
6. dark grey label (APennington_AAY_Label (4))
7. yellow label (APennington_AAY_Label (6))
8. branch bottom (nbk-AAY-stem)
9. word strip “/it’s always been you” (sc_aay_wordbit)
10. black large label (sc_aay_label)
11. light green label (APennington_AAY_Label (1))
12. light grey label (APennington_AAY_Label (2))
13. word strip “you”(sahlinstudio_allaboutyou_ws-you)
14. clip (justjaimee_AAY_FWP2_clip)

well that's the most clustering i've ever done without a template - here's mine and an itemised version, i stopped counting at 14 (when i realised i only needed 12 things - you'd think i would know by now to read the challenge twice for good measure)

 

UGH! Can't stand clusters; making them or using them. To me they look like a pile of stuff. Oh well, this is supposed to be a challenge. Your instructions are very clear @SeattleSheri . This will be a challenge all right! Let's see what develops!

 

1 button, 1 string, 1 bow, 4 label, 1 flower, 2 tag, 2 flair, 1 Twine

@SeattleSheri

Can this layout be hybrid (doing physical clusters) or do you want this done solely digital?

Thx

 

Definitely a bigger cluster than my comfort zone, but ended up really liking it! Thanks for the challenge. All papers and elements from Kristen Aagard's Twinkle Toes.
Cluster items:
2 Ribbons
1 Wire
3 Musical Notes
2 WA strips
2 flowers
1 Scatter
1 Toe Shoes
1 Ballerina

 

Super fun challenge, Sheri

My cluster:
Ribbon
Wood flower
White flower
Gold flower
Wood tree
3 pine branches
3 snowflakes (2 different ones)
Green branch
Red branch
Blue branch
Brown branch
Flair

 

Cluster elements:
2 Pieces of doily
2 Brown leaves
2 Tan leaves
1 Coral flower
1 White flower
1 Tag
1 Heart scatter
1 Black bow
1 Camera flair

 

Do you consider a button as an element? I notice you listed flairs and I consider them about the same.

Also, I noticed that Christa had used and counted as one of her elements a journal card. Can I assume that journal cards are acceptable as elements?

 

Thank you for the challenge Sheri



my cluster (14 elements)
3 flowers
1 leaves
1 pinwheel
1 sequins
4 paperstrips

I went with the "Go Big or Go Home" mindset for this challenge with 27 pieces in my cluster. They're all listed in the gallery rather than specifying them on this page. The cluster does not include the vellum or the paint.

 

Thank you for the challenge!



For the cluster I used:
6 different flowers
3 leaves (1 double)
