See through layout


When I saw this photo of Georgia I immediately thought of the John Denver song.

I wanted the photo to give the impression of a see through LO so used the Cricut machine to cut out my title from the background cardstock. Then I simply punched out the title leaving the negative space.

I folded a mulberry flower in half and anchored it visually to the photo and title by using a button. The DM dots for the sun's rays are an effect I have used a couple of times...I really like the subtlety of it.

Lastly I journaled on the bottom of the LO. I ruled lines using a White signo to guide my handwriting...they are so subtle you can't see them and there is no rubbing out to do after I've journaled. The writing was done with the fine point of a Zig Writer.

Here is a close up of the sun element. The blinds are open behind this photo. Can you see what I mean about a seethrough effect?
