Mind the Scrap | Chinese Whispers

I recently took part in a Facebook group game of Chinese Whispers where we scraplifted a page from someone in the group and sent it on to the next person. To be honest, I couldn’t really see my original page in the ones I got in return, but hey ho, it was fun! You can see lots of the entries here. (It is a closed group so click here to join up.)

This is the page I started off my pass with.

 

 

 

 

 

And these are scraplifted from pages I was sent by my CW teamies

The theme for the Blog Hop is                                    ‘A Favourite Technique’ ...

I have chosen cutting into photographs.

I love to do this with photos that are important as a memory but not particularly interesting as a photo.

The photo I’ve used here has a central element, the bit with the birds lined up, and the rest is important context but boring … so I’ve cut it to isolate the ‘good’ section and to make the rest more pleasing to the eye.

I want to cut my photo into a 9-section grid with the focal point, the birds, in the centre. I start by cutting either side of the birds.

Next I cut each of the 3 strips into 3, making uneven sections.

At this point it is a good idea to carefully turn over the photo pieces and number them so that piecing them together later isn’t too much of a jigsaw.

I reassembled the photo onto the matting cardstock with even(ish) spaces between the pieces, allowing the matting to show through.

Next I trimmed round the photo and stuck the whole piece to the background cardstock, then completed the page as normal

That’s it from me.

Happy NSD.
