Here is another LO using my kit.. I added a sheet of plum cardstock and some embellishments but other than that I used the turquoise PP as a mat for the large photo and some more for the two layered mat for the journalling block on the bottom right. I used some scrap blue and red CS from the kit for the small banner and cut the hearts from a piece of scrap left from the paper that I added for my last LO. The turquoise PP actually has holly leaves on it and come from a Christmas kit but you can't see that by using it as a mat.
I used Cosmo Cricket small words for the journalling and I dyed two white paper roses to add along with the turquoise flower which I centred with a Candi Dot.
For ages I have had some Papermania grey letters with pale blue dots on it which didn't really work with this LO, so I inked them with a Dew Drop inkpad and then used embossing powder on them to alter the colour to dark aqua.
This fits with a challenge over on UKS that provided a sketch too. Thanks for looking.
I love reading about all the little counterfeiting you've been doing for this page - changing colour, adding embossing powder, covering up holly ... brilliant use of stash for a super page. Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteOh that's absolutely gorgeous hun - love it the colour combination really makes it pop!
ReplyDeleteLove the lettering you used. Great idea to use an ink pad on it because they were the wrong colour for your layout.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous page and great altering to suit your layout.
