scrapbook page "Fridolf"

 

Dog no 3 then. It´s Fridolf and because he is a he I thought I would make a more masculine layout without flower. Don´t get me wrong here, I love flower but sometimes it´s just not right. But it can be hard, cause we use flowers as a filler and pop of colors.

This is another paper from the Panduro Design "cirkus" paper pad. It´s white and blue and fits perfect for the photo of Fridolf that I have chosen.





But we start with some grunge board from Tim Holtz. One flourish and one hinge. Today I use nail polish (I´m not- so- secret- obsessed with nail polish)  to get that metal look on the hinge and on the flourish. I start with a base coat with light green on the flourish and grey on the hinge. Then on the flourish I took a "mermaid" colored polish. It´s like green and blue with gold glitter (love this one! from H&M) The hinge got a coat with a silver polish that really looks like liquid silver.
Just think about what some nail polish can do, true magic...








So when the grunge board have dryad I put all the things that I think I want to use on the layout.
Some fabric tape in light blue and a white with blue polka dots. The photo with a photo mat of craft paper. And a dymo title.









The flourish a cut in half to place on each corner. The fabric tape I just cut till small "flags" to make a boarder at the top of the page. I did find some small light baby blue pearl that I put on the flags.

There is no question in what this layout is about, a dog in snow. And I think this is a perfect example of how a paper can enhance that feeling in the photo, of cold and snow. Sense the paper is distressed with white that really picks out the snow feeling.
