Summer layout

Hello there,

Welcome to my blog and follow my work on social media.

I am sharing a layout I made recently using Spiral circle die, Lemons & blueberries, Sunflower washi tape stamp, Twist pattern die and Alphabet stamp and die. Its a simple layout and fun to make. I always like to make simple layout and storing them becomes super easy for me. I die cut first and then stamped out the images and coloured them out. Fuzzy cutting was the most irritating thing for me as I had to take care of my baby as well. I inked the die cut pieces with yellow and green so they match the lemons. I chose lemons and sunflower as they are prefect for summer theme. I randomly placed the pieces and wasn't sure how to go about. I slept and when I woke up and immediately placed the pieces and finished my layout.

Simple layout

Hello there,

Welcome to my blog and follow my work on social media.

Last Friday of this month and I am happy to share another layout. I used rainbow colours and did some stamping using stamps and dies from Pink Fresh studio. I wanted to give a different shape to the rainbow background and I didnt know how to work with it. I worked on it digitally and printed it out and then added some score lines. I did some heat embossing with white powder on vellum. I printed out my picture and added all elements together to make a layout. Its a very simple layout without much work and anyone can make it.

Rainbow layout

Hello there,

Welcome to my blog and follow my work on social media.

I am happy to share a layout I made recently using stamps and dies from Pink fresh studio. I used Foliage shaker die and Sunflower washi tape stamp for the layout. I had some leftover cardstock and using the monthly challenge theme from Pink fresh studio, I made a background. I made some fringe cuts on the cardstock and stacked theme in VIBGYOR order. I die cut vellum and silver cardstock using foliage die. I stamped sunflowers on vellum sheet and heat embossed with white and did the same on black cardstock as well. I wanted to go contrast with background. I didn't colour much on black but just gave very mild shading. I printed out my pics and added them to the layout. I finished with a sentiment and some gemstones.
