HELLO WASHINGTON




None of my photos from my semester in Canada have been developed yet, but when i saw Shimelle's first sketch of the year, i knew i had to  scrap! Lucky me, i have a printer at home. The sketch involved one very large photo (A4 size) so i thought i would use it for one of my "introductory" layout. Not sure if there's a better word for it, but i hope you know what i mean. I considered a picture from New York, another one from Toronto, then i saw this one. Washington DC. One of my fondest memory of this entire semester. So why not start with it?

I'm obviously still not over my glitter phase, so i covered some of Amy Tan's leaves in silver glitter. Definitely something to consider if: 
a) some of the leaves colors are not your style 
b) you love glitter
Then i used bits and pieces to embellish a little more: a lovely flair from A flair for buttons, washi tapes,  stickers from here and there and some twine which i'm starting to like a lot.
Photography wise, the big picture was first taken with my DSLR then edited on my iphone with Camera + (because i'm in love with that Clarity option!), while the smaller one were taken directly with Camera +.  I also used Snapster on those two to get the color effect. And finally i edited all of them with Radlab on my computer. Yes, i'm a tad perfectionist sometimes...

Have a lovely day,
