Welcome to the latest challenge from Bitten By the Bug 2. Our challenge this time around is sports. I created a layout of a half marathon my son ran last year. He finished first in his age division. I must say I did not take any of these photos. I borrowed them from the internet. They were featured on the race website and the local news.
I used the negative cut from page 2 as a stencil for page 1. I simply sponged some distress ink and held in place with my hand. I was NOT that concerned with precision.
I manipulated the layout of the title. It was a square with the shoe as part of the design. I used the shoe in the lower left.
I made a duplicate of the title and contoured only the shoe to create a stripe of color in the sole.
The second page was actually the first page I created. I loved the Finish Strong title available with Cricut Access.
I also made a duplicate of this title and contoured the runner. I cut the second runner out of the background paper in a spot that I knew would be covered by the badge mat.
Ingredients:
Cricut Finish Strong, Marathon Motivation and Stork's Delivery
Creative Memories Sports Paper Stack and Sticker pack
Black shimmer and white card stock
Tutti Small Scallop Stitched Circles
Our Daily Bread Designs Pierced Circle die
Hickory Smoke Distress ink

Great layout. I never thought of using the negative piece as a stencil, but it is a wonderful idea. It is all the little details, like the runner being in the same paper that make it special.
