Yes, even messy, inky, grungy scrappers like me, still like Doodlebug. This was one of those "I wonder what would happen if..." layouts, a challenge to myself if you will. You see, I used to fancy myself to be a 'clean & simple' scrapper. You can stop laughing now. At any rate, I still have quite a few Doodlebug products in my stash, and I'd almost forgot about them. I can see that I need to dig out some of these things more often (I'm so in love with their jewels!).
The background received a good dose of gesso before I started layering papers on top. I wanted to create a more neutral backdrop for the photo grouping, without going to plain cardstock. I'm very happy with the result, and I will try this technique again.
I love the turquoise flocked paper. I need to remember I own this! Oh, and flocked letters - yum!
Lots of ink splats and machine stitching in black, to give a little pop amidst all the loud colours.
It's fun to step outside of your comfort zone, and rediscover old scrappy loves at the same time.
