Wow, it's the end of November already... I don't know about ya'll but the year has truly flown by for me! Both of my kids will be on school holidays shortly and even though I love having them home and yes, the sleep in's... I do miss getting a small break and I bet they miss being able to have a break from each other and me just as much! lol.
For this layout I wanted to really highlight the paper and not over do the layout.. I wanted to keep it simple and just be wow-ed by those floral colours..
I used "Botanical Bliss" form the Cocoa Vanilla "happiness" collection. I love these papers and have been really enjoying being creative with this range.. With the pattern paper I cut off a 1" strip at the bottom to give some extra dimension once put onto the teal base page. The pp strips are cut at random 1/2" - 3/4" and 1" wide.. I didn't measure the gaps perfectly, as I really wanted a natural feel to it..
On top of the paper I lightly spread some White Gesso and then some Silver paint.. This soften some of the bright colours on the paper so the photo and title could sit without being too lost or overtaken..
The chipboard I painted with the same Silver. I used Celeb8 chipboard and Thickers for the title.
Last touches were a Kaiser transparent photo overlay and some tiny rose flowers..
I really do smile everytime I look at this layout..
What do you think?
