We recently received a new collection in store from Bo Bunny called 'Somewhere in Time'. This set features creams, blues and greys and together with steampunk designs this works well for vintage and masculine photographs. I set about creating some layouts with this collection and ended up with 4 very different layouts from the same collection which goes to show that this set can be used for a whole variety of photographs not just the masculine/vintage style which on first look was the obvious.
For the first layout, I used a 'working parts' piece of chipboard by Blue Fern Studios as it worked with the base paper I chose. I applied Frantage embossing powder to this to give it a metallic finish.

For the second layout I started off with a plain piece of cardstock and wanted to make use of all of the different cut-out elements on some of the papers to make a layout using a holiday/travel photograph.

For the third layout I used a new art medium by Prima Marketing called 'Art Basics - 3D Gloss Gel' in Transparent. This gel is perfect for any mixed media work but as it is transparent you can create glossy designs using all of your stencils/masks and it shows up the colour or paper beneath. After applying this gel through a brick stencil I left this to dry and become completely transparent (it has a lovely gloss finish) and then I spritzed some Mists over the top - the gel is resistant so you can wipe the mist from the textured area and leave the mist showing around the design - it helps to make the transparent designs stand out. It is really effective how it takes on the paper design beneath, giving a subtle but visible texture, instead of using a matt 1 colour paste.

The final layout created focused on a girly photograph - I wanted to create a layout making use of the corset design I cut from the Chrononaut Paper. It is not a collection I would think to reach for when scrapbooking a female photograph but I am really pleased with how well it worked:
The 'Rosehip' stamp was stamped with embossing ink and then heat embossed with white embossing powder. The Dusty Attic Zipper chipboard pieces were inked around the edge with a Prima Marketing Fluid Chalk Edger in Knotted Wood.
