One Spooky Night

I simply adore working with acrylic of any kind, but the one thing I can't seem to master is the photography.  This page is a prime example.  I have layer after layer of transparent pieces but I'm not real certain if you get that same feel looking at this photo. 

"One Spooky Night"


Supplies:  Paper (Little Yellow Bicycle, Basic Grey), Transparency & Die Cuts (Little Yellow Bicycle), Glitter Cut Swirl (Fancy Pants), Black Floral Spray (Prima), Die Cut Border Sticker (Recollections), Epoxy (Epiphany Crafts),  Rub-Ons (Making Memories)


I curved the floral spray and made the end piece curl around the swirl in the letter 'N'.  The piece was then stitched into place with black thread.  Notice also that all the "Creepy Crawlies" on the border sticker were made into epoxies, yet another dimension added in acrylic.


I'll leave you with that for day. I am certainly open to any and all "photographing transparencies" tips as well.
Thanks, as always, for stopping by.  I truly do appreciate it.


Edited to Add:  Look for the page in the Fall, 2011 issue of Scrapbooking & Beyond Magazine.
