***********************************
Here are links to my project for the first round. Im not allowed to put the photo of it anywhere, so here are links to the CiS gallery.
I did a two-page 12x12 layout of my son Liam. Ive left alot of negative space because I wanted to concentrate on the decorative borders and make them the focus of the layout.
LEFT-HAND SIDE INFORMATION:
On the left-hand side ive put 6 photos of Liam. 3 black and white and 3 de-saturated colour. The colour ones are mounted on chipboard for dimension. Each photo has a different decorative border:
image 1 borders: white paint, topped with a hand-cut scallop from printed paper, which has then been doodled on. rubons were then added to 2 corners of the photo
image 2 borders: edges inked, doodled on top of the photo, then mounted it on white cardstock, then mounted again on patterned paper with a ripped top
image 3 borders: i made the chipboard backing slightly smaller than the image. I then sanded the image. Because the chipboard was smaller than the pic it caused a sanded border about 2mm in from the edge.
image 4 borders: handstitched and then mounted on white cardstock
image 5 borders: painted dots
image 6 borders: ribbons
RIGHT-HAND SIDE INFORMATION:
Ive included one 6x4 enlargement that had the colours de-saturated. I used paint to add a border to the photo. Another border I included was hand-drawn and cut scallops. This photo is mounted on chipboard to give extra stability. There is hidden journalling underneith.
