Golden Moments - Layout by Antonia Moreno

Hello, 49 and Market fans! Antonia with you today sharing my last layout for 2021, but happy to be with you all one more year! In today’s project I had a real challenge! The mother of this beautiful model girl, Sofia  asked me to create a layout without layering or framing the photo. If you follow my work, you know how much do I love to mat the photo with lots of layers. So it was going to be difficult for me. In addition, I chose what she called a “difficult photo” as it barely has any color, apart from black and gold. But instead of thinking of it as a difficulty, I soon realized I had the perfect paper collection: In the Leaves has a dark and a “gold” kind of paper and they seemed perfect to me to create this project.

So first thing was thinking about the design. Contrary to what I usually do, I first cut out a piece of the yellow paper, which was going to be on the top. Afterwards, I cut the dark paper and glued it down onto the yellow one and onto a 2mm cardboard base. When it came to work with the composition, I thought about two different products I have on my stash: In the Leaves Foliage and the Bookplates. On this link you can check my previous layout created with Bookplates, which I adore because they give a versatile image to any project!

I was decided to use the bookplate as the focus point of my layout, so I surrounded it by foliage and flowers to create a composition I liked. During this work, I also decided that the photo, without any matting or frame, would be over it. So I glued lots of foliage and flowers around it. To make the composition be complete, I used some transfers here and there and they did much to the project. In fact, I felt really happy with the result. These embellishments do the whole work!

I just had to add some wishing bubbles and trinkets, some beads and art stones to finish the layout.
