The Perks of a High Rise

Hi there,

I have a fun layout to share that was submitted at From Screen 2 Scrap for their May Inspiration Movie Poster Challenge.  You can see the challenge here.

Here's the movie poster:

 

 And the criteria:

1 pt. = A bit of green cardstock somewhere on your page.

2 pts. = Black title.

3 pts. = Bricks (Stencil, mask, hand made, from pp, painted).

I wasn't sure about this challenge... until I found this photo of our cat and I knew it would be PERFECT for my layout!

Here's what I created:

This cat was always looking for something HIGH to climb on, so when this makeshift plank was made so I could paint the walls, Tom was lovin every minute of it!  On another note, I was NOT!  I was a bit nervous (actually down right scared) about standing on this plank!  Good grief... I was happy to finish painting this very high wall!!  Phew!!

I used all 3 of the criteria listed above.

1 pt. = The cardstock background is green (a light green... but it's still green).

2 pts. = My title is black.

3 pts. = Bricks

Supplies used:

Paper: Colorbok, My Mind's Eye

Clear Black Sticker Letters

Prima Flowers

Black Cardstock Title Letters

Ribbons

Sharpie Marker

Die Cut Cat Face: Home Made

Gems: Home Made

Metallic Rub ons

Bricks Stencil: Home Made

Mister Huey's Color Mist: Dewey

Sketch: Page Maps (Oct 2007)

 I made these cute cat faces some time ago and found them in my stash!  I used the metallic rub ons around the edges and rubbed some onto the flowers too.  The larger flower was tucked under the "ear" and a gem was also added, which left the ear standing out for some dimension.

My journaling was added below the photo.

Since the mist I used for the bricks were a bit light... I used the metallic rub ons (a variety of colors) and randomly brushed them onto each brick.

I was hoping to get a photo of the slight shimmer from the rub ons.

I decided on a similar title as the movie poster, which I thought was perfect for my page.

I lightly rubbed metallic rub ons on each letter.

 

Here's my flower grouping with the home made gems.  I used various colors of the rub ons for each flower too.

 Here's a closer look at how the rub ons add a bit of fun color to the flowers.

A closer look at the flowers and gems.  I used metallic paint on the gems.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a wonderful day!
