Oscraps

When I was little, I wanted to be an astronaut when I grew up. I think that's why these fashion photos speak to me. There's some exotic, alluring, and mysterious about adventuring into space.

For this art journaling layout, I used the Stargazer Collection by A Whimsical Adventure. I started by bringing my two photos onto my canvas, and sizing one of them to be slightly smaller than the other. Then I added a 50 pixel white stroke around the edge of the photos, to frame them.

Next, I brought in a gold colored artsy paper as the background. I layered some purple, aqua, and gold paint and splatters on top of the paper and positioned them around and underneath the photos.

I knew I wanted to use the Andromeda flair, so I brought that in and positioned it near the center of the layout. Next I added the staples to attach the photos to the canvas. And I added the elastic cord tied with bows and dangled a star charm from it. Then I tucked some thread behind the Andromeda flair.

After that, I played with some of the fun ephemera in the collection, tucking pieces in behind the photos. Then I added some flowers, star scatters, and the silver puffy star to the end of the thread.

As always, I love how you explain the process. So many details…love the added touch of the star hanging from the thread. And I need to try that white stroke to frame a picture.
 
Thank you for your kind words, @LSlycord! They are very much appreciated! :lovey3:
To do the white stroke in Photoshop, you right click on the layer, select Blending Options, check the box for Stroke, set the size to 50 px, with a normal Blend Mode, 100% Opacity, and a white Color fill type. You can position the stroke inside, outside, or centered, whatever seems to look best. Not sure how it works in other software.
Have fun!
