You're Simply the Best - 49 & Market

Hello 49 and Market Fans

Dennis Bruton has blown us away again with Rust and Revs 2.0, and the elements in this collection are truly amazing! Here is my project I have created using this gorgeous collection:

I have used the Rust and Revs Steadfast paper as the base for my layout, and then torn the reverse side of the Tenacious paper and adhered this to the Steadfast page. Both the Steadfast and the Tenacious paper come from the 12 x 12 Paper Collection. Then I used the reverse side of Solids paper no 4 from the Solids 12 x 12 paper pack and tore this a little smaller than the Tenacious paper and adhered this. The photo is matted on the same Solids paper but on the brown side and the paper has been distressed before I adhered the photo. I have layered chipboard frames from the Chipboard Set under the photo. These are just amazing! Before adhering this, I placed this on the page for placing so I could work out where to add the rub-ons (the film strip type rub-on and solid corners). Then I added a strip of the checked fabric washi tape, adding the brown and blue rub-ons, before adhering the photo and frames.

I then added the tags under either side of the photo (distressing the edges) - these are from the Die-cut Elements pack, adding the "rope" and title "You're Simply the Best" from the Laser Cut Element Set.

I have also added rub-on cogs and numbers

The "leather" straps holding the photo are from the Laser Cuts elements page. To create the leather effect, I have scrunched these up and then sanded them, adding them with a bit of a bend to the page and the photo.
