Hi! I am back with another layout I made using some of my favorite Altenew products. I was, of course, inspired by the A Year In Review Sketch Challenge 2019 on the Altenew Scrapbook Blog.
This time I went with the Sketch Challenge #15.
I used both the sketch and the colors as inspiration. Kindly excuse the poor quality of photographs as I am traveling and ended up editing to photos on my phone.
I started with a piece of Ivory cardstock and created the rainbow with different sets of Altenew inks. I used all for shades in each stripe.
Here are the completed stripes.
Next I matted the photo with shades of blue paper and added the date and place.
At this stage I felt today the layout looked a bit 'empty'. So I added some splatters with gold acrylic paint, to tie in with the hold embossing. To create the floral arrangement, I stamped the outline images of the flower from the Peony Bouquet stamp set and the leaf from the Beautiful Day stamp set. I heat embossed the images with Rich Gold embossing powder by Wow! and die-cut them with the coordinating dies.
After arranging the die-cuts in a pleasing way, I adhered them with glue as well as foam tape.
Here is the final layout again.
Entering this in the following challenges, along with the A Year In Review Sketch Challenge 2019.
