Layering Photos

Hi!

I hope you're having a fabulous weekend.  I'm here today with a layout that uses layered photos.  It's a great way to give a layout a bit of impact that isn't difficult to do at all.  It just requires a little planning when developing your photos for scrapping.

 
You can see I have layered the two main photos to give them a bit of emphasis in the layout.  All I did was print two copies of the same photo - one regular (4x6 inches) and the other half sized (3x4 inches).  I then used dimensionals to adhere the smaller photo on top of the larger photo.

 
This technique works best on a photo that isn't too busy but still fills the whole photo.  Notice in the photo above you can still see bits of the larger photo from behind the smaller photo?  If the photos are too busy you lose the effect of having the layered photo.

 
In this case the photo didn't work quite as well as a layered photo as the left side of the photo didn't have anything visible in the larger photo.  In this case it was deliberate as I wanted to layer my title over the photo and I needed a blank section of photo there  anyway.

You can also see details of theborder I created using my Scribbles Swirls Sizzlit.  I am loving this die and finding uses for it everywhere!

Wow love that layering of the photos and might have to dig out the Scribbles Swirl sizzlit - that border looks fab!

Tina, I just LOVE the way you have layered your photos! I never ever thought of doing that kind of thing, but now you have showed me how to do it I will give it a try for sure. You might even see it one day in the monthly challenges for StampaMemory, who knows. Fabulous layout, Tina!!
