Travel perspextives are probably my favourite product from Bramble Fox! The new products for April do not disappoint and I am using the San Francisco set along with some Travel Elements, also with the Chevrons and Corners /Vintage set from previously. I am using a combination of Everywhere and Wherever Collections by 49 and Market.

I chose a background paper from the Everywhere Collection which had the world map across it which was ideal to show London to San Francisco. I used two mini geo tags and a plane from the Travel Elements to mark our journey. For extra effect I used a laser cut plane from the Wherever collection and stuck the perspextive plane over the top.

I had multiple photos to use and played around with their position until I was happy with them. I then matted them in strips and distressed the edges. Starting on the left side of the layout I created a background mat for the photos using acetate film pieces and journal cards. I then added embellishments from the laser cuts, chipboard and ephemera.

I had carefully worked out the spacing of my photos so that the large San Francisco perspextive would fit well along the photo edges. I adhered it and then added a few embellishments underneath it.

I then continued to add the strips of photos across the page and added the circular wooden etched San Francisco bridge piece at the base of the photo strips. I placed another acetate film strip towards the right and placed the last photos over the top of it. I tucked in some tickets and added the Chevrons and Corners/Vintage perspextives over the film strip. I like the balance of flat and raised embellishments to give more dimension to the layout.

From the bottom photo I worked my way up embellishing again with ephemera and laser cuts. I then added the outline parts of the Chevron perspextives vertically.

I used the Sizzix Framelets Fine Line Alpha Die by 49 and Market to cut out the Golden Gate Bridge Title letters. I then stuck them to a background paper to give them and edge. I fussy cut them and then placed them vertically down the right side of the layout to create a long vertical title. I felt both the colour and style offered balance to the layout.
