Magnetic Platform Layout

The new Magnetic Platform is so cool!  It holds framelits and edgelits perfectly in place while they go through the big shot.  It's especially handy when cutting out a stamped image so that it doesn't move at all.

I whipped up this layout in a matter of minutes and challenged myself to only use framelits and edgelits.

Cardstock: Tangerine Tango, Sycamore Street DSP, Whisper White
Ink: Island Indigo

A Rustic Monotone Layout

 

I've had the stamp set "Creative Elements" on my wish list for ages.  I finally got around to ordering it and it arrived last week.  I knew exactly what photos I needed it for!

I tested out a number of different base cardstocks; Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Sahara Sand before deciding on Soft Suede.  I think the effect of the white swirls on it looks so cool!

 I wanted a rather rustic monotone feel to this layout to go with the photos which didn't have alot of colour in them either and just love how it turned out.  I also sanded around each photo which gave them a aged look.
