White with Latte

Hi again,

Gosh, I don't post for a week then I post twice in two days! I had to post this one today cos it's for White With 1 and the entries close today! The colour this month is Latte. (My other post for Scrappy Chat Designs is below).

In keeping with my self-imposed WW1 rule of using the colour in the title as well as the theme of the page, here's my layout:

I don't drink coffee but my hubby makes up for me. I think the other love in his life is his coffee machine! Most people agree he makes a mean coffee and when my parents come to visit they usually time it around coffee time.

Apart from the colour and theme, I've made several visual references to coffee on this page. The background is designed to look like milk and coffee swirling together. I used a mix of chocolate Dylusions inks spray and water to create a brown, swirling effect then sprayed white Dylsuions over the top. I let these merge together. I then used various lids, ends of pens etc, to create the 'froth'. I did this by stamping the lids in water then onto the page so the water took away the Dylusions colour leaving the bubbles.

The third coffee reference is the decoration above and below the photo. I used a TCW feather stencil to create that pattern that they put on the top of coffees at cafes. John doesn't do this I must add!

And a close up:

The chippies on the page are all from Dusty Attic and they are covered in Tinby Metallic Melts which will be available very soon.

I'd like to say that I've had a huge scrapping month and thought I wasn't going to get a WW1 layout made in time this month. Lizzy Hill kept pushing me though and somehow enough time was freed up for me to do it, albeit at the very last minute! Thanks Lizzy!

Cheers for now.
