Thor Scrapbook Layout

Created this scrapbook layout using a new piece of artwork, Thor, created by my daughter. We went to see the movie 'The Avengers.' I'm not much of a Marvel comic heroes sci-fi sort of person but I liked the action & especially liked the character Thor.

Used a gold metallic marker to calligraphy 'Thor' on banner in upper right corner. Used Tim Holtz Rays embossing folder to represent the sun rays. Used chevron embossing folder on shield in upper right corner. Attached a wine bottle brown/gold foil cap on the shield. Used metal buttons from hubby's old blue jeans on either corner of Thor. Used a wine bottle black foil cap with a gold star on it.

Used Die Cuttin Divas sketch:
