Tip-Ins

These are the Tip-In layouts that I've made for a swap posted on the arttechniques group. Click on the photos to see them bigger.


Yard Sale theme



Dog theme
This is the first time I've tried Poppets. Lots of fun!



Route 66 theme
This one is better in person (they all are!) The sign on the left page was made with a photo design program. The bottom layer is a collage of famous Oklahoma Route 66 landmarks. I then topped it with an acetate Route 66 sign. The result was a unique 3 dimensional look. The car on the right side travels back and forth across the page when you pull the ribbon.



Circus theme The background paper was made using a faux Washi paper technique I'd found online. The result was a very colorful, fun & funky paper but it didn't look or feel remotely like Washi...
This is all the fun stuff I made and tucked into the popcorn bag. BTW, the popcorn bag was made using a photo design program. It was a real %^&@# trying to feed the paper bag through the printer, but perseverance paid off. ;-)



Weird Circus theme
I found the picture of the arthritic circus elephant while surfing the net and I knew I had to work it into this layout along with a whole bunch of evil clowns!



Myth-Stories theme
I found this wonderful Japanese myth online and decided to use it for this layout instead of the usual Greek myths. I made the background by playing around with faux Washi technique mentioned above. It took several tries and a few adjustments, but finally came up with something resembling Washi paper.
