(Just a warning and an apology - my photos appear to be very washed out in this post - not sure what has happened - I will try to replace them when I can get some better ones).
So the Nevermore papers are designed to be Halloween themed HOWEVER I just can't get past these sheets of industrial style planning papers. Sometimes you just see a paper that needs to be celebrated on a page layout and this is one of them.
So as not to loose what I love about the paper in my page design I kept it very simple with black and slate cardstock and just a few select embellishments.
My page is designed to be about my Dad. I never do pages about him so this is really nice. He is currently building a model railway in his shed and I am going to use these pages to showcase some of the work in progress. So I cut my title and the cogs out on my cricut. The cogs come from the Artiste cartridge.
Then I needed to distress the edges of my title. Those inside bits are too fiddly for a sponge or a dauber so I used a cotton bud. It had the added bonus of creating flyaway threads which dragged some extra ink across my lettering giving it a real rustic feel. I then daubered on a bit of chocolate ink to give it a bit of a rust effect.
My cogs got daubered with the chocolate ink and I used another cotton bud to do the smaller inside bits. I used the black cotton bud again just to add a few grease marks here and there. I also daubered the edges of one of my slate boxes - I intend to use this one for journaling.
So let's talk embellishments. Each paper pack has a pack of matching embellishments called complements. Here is a photo of the Nevermore ones. The first photo is the two sticker sheets included in the complements pack and the second photo is the kraft die-cut shapes and thick clear plastic die cuts.
Not heaps I can use on my layout here but there are a lot that could be used on non-Halloween layouts, like the stars, bunting, arrows, file tabs, frames and chandeliers. I choose an arrow and the file tab.
Now one thing that strikes me with Nevermore is that the colours are very similar to our Urban paper pack. So let's take a look at the urban stickers included in the complement pack :
Perfect. Train luggage tags, another yellow arrow, a circle with plans on it and one with metal imprints. Done. Now when I put down the photos these embellishments will pick up the yellows and blues I know Dad has used on the portions he has done so far on the railway.
