Today I want to share a crazy experiment for True Xoxo Girls- a backlit vellum page
AND some fun news!
I was asked to Guest Design for Die Scrapperin Magazine again for the month of November.
You can click on the link above to get a 6 page preview of the issue.
I'm really excited!!!
Fellow Scrap FX DT teamie Erin Blegen will also be guest designing.
It can be hard to find copies of the magazine here in the States but I really think a subscription is a good idea.
DS is one of the best publishers of art/mixed media style scrapbooking around.
The regular DT is amazing and the work produced is incredibly innovative and vibrant.
Ok so here is my page for True Xoxo Girls.

| To shoot this very simple backlit page, I used double sided tape to mount the page onto a window facing the sun. I then set my flash to the "backlight" setting. Using flash was a pain because the plastic school binder dividers I cut up to make the banners kept bouncing light back but I finally got a version with only a few hotspots. Guess what? I still had to photoshop the Instax to make it brighter. It now looks like a mini television (yikes!). |

| MATERIALS:The sunbursts are from a great 6x6 Artist Cellar stencil. Sticker from My Mind's Eye, rain dots from Cloud 9 design (found on sale at Joann's), American Crafts Slick Writer pen, a Me and My Big Ideas doodle print from years ago and a brad from Girl's Paperie. |
Washers covered in twine and twist ties used as embellishments on a page.
