A Star is Bornusing Simple Stories Say Cheese 4 by Kerryn Fry

Hi everyone!

Today's page has been created using 

Simple Stories collection Say Cheese 4.

You really can't go wrong with the primary colours

and the patterns in the papers were easy to adapt to suit the photos.

I did change the photos to B&W to suit.

Mr, now 15, at his school sports day.

He came second, just got pipped at the post by the last throw.

Very proud of him.

The page started with a Kraft Cardstock base.
I have added some interest to the background using Distress Inks
in Wild Honey, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot.
Then I have selected three different stencils,
Kaisercraft Dotted Lines & Starburst and the Crafter's Workshop Template Diamonds.
I've randomly highlighted some of the diamonds with a white gel pen.

The Cardstock Stickers were great to embellish the page.
I have adhered some of the stickers to Black Cardstock
for better definition and then used foam tape for some added dimension.

The 'fireworks' have been hand cut from the paper Fun This Way.

I've cut the journal spot from the 4x4 Elements paper
and most pieces have been mounted on foam tape.
The word stickers are from the Cardstock Sticker Sheet
and work well with the sport theme.

The small black diamonds have been fussy cut from patterned paper 

Fun This Way and then added to the page with foam tape.

The Black Cardstock was also used for the trim above the photos.

The 2 Crafty title A Star is Born has been given a few coats 

of Distress Paint Black Soot.

Once the chipboard was completely dry, 

I have outlined the title using a white gel pen

and faux stitching, to allow it to pop.

And that's a wrap! Thanks for visiting the blog today. and happy crafting for the weekend. Pop back again on Monday for Fiona's next project.
