Day 282: Glamour Shots: Sugar and Spice Part 2

My daughter helped me decide how to embellish this page tonight.  I was showing her some crocheted flowers (Prima) I have been wanting to use, but I thought even though they were "soft" looking, they were almost too "heavy" for the page.  She noticed a gold heart that I had saved from a handbag (Relics), and suggested that I place it under one of the flowers to help the flower to look softer.  Those opposing soft and hard textures helped the flower to feel lighter, because that heavy gold heart grounds it. Last but not least, I added the beautiful stud and pearl swirl by Prima to the left side of the photo.

Day 281: Glamour Shots: Sugar and Spice Part 1

Tonight I decided what the title for this page should be: Sugar and Spice.  Again, I was trying to highlight the dichotomy between the studded leather jacket I am wearing with the feminine Graphic 45 papers I used for the background of this page. I used some lace (offray) at the top of the page for a soft effect, then used black rick rack (American Crafts) on top of that, again, those opposites.  I dug through my stash of "scrabble" letters to make the words "sugar, spice" and stamped a large ampersand (Stampabilities) on cream card stock and matted it with black to make my title. I put some of the torn pearl paper I used on my  "Pearls and Leather" page (see yesterday's post) underneath my photo and punched out two photo corners to frame the photo. However, this page needs something more.  I will work on it more tomorrow.  Corner punch by EK Success.
