Rainbow layout

Hello there,

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

I am thrilled to share a colorful new scrapbook layout today, themed around the beautiful and cheerful rainbow (VIBGYOR) palette. This project uses bold colors, stunning florals, and contrasting techniques to celebrate a special memory.

For this layout, I utilized a fantastic array of stamps and dies from Pinkfresh Studio.

Building the Vibrant Background

The foundation of this layout is a striking, textural rainbow design, perfect for adhering to the Pinkfresh Studio monthly challenge.

 * Fringe Background: I took leftover cardstock scraps in the VIBGYOR colors and cut them into strips. I then created fringe cuts along one edge of each strip. These fringed strips were then stacked and adhered in rainbow order to form a dynamic, textured background for the photo.

Layered Florals and Die-Cuts

To complement the bright background, I created contrasting layered elements using florals and delicate foliage dies.

 * Foliage Dimension: I used the Foliage Shaker Die to cut delicate pieces from two contrasting materials: translucent vellum and shimmering silver cardstock. Layering these pieces adds subtle texture and shine around the photo.

 * Contrasting Sunflowers: The beautiful Sunflower Washi Tape Stamp was the focal point for the stamping.

   * Vellum Embossing: I stamped the sunflowers onto a vellum sheet and heat embossed them with crisp white embossing powder.

   * Bold Black Contrast: For a dramatic effect, I also stamped the sunflowers onto black cardstock and heat embossed them in white. I then added just a mild shading of color to the black embossed flowers, allowing the strong contrast of white on black to dominate.

Finishing the Layout

The final arrangement places the two contrasting photo prints nestled among the layered foliage and bright florals. The page is finished with a simple sentiment and a few sparkling gemstones to tie in with the silver accents.

This layout perfectly blends a cheerful rainbow theme with sophisticated techniques like heat embossing and dimensional die-cutting, resulting in a fun, layered, and memorable piece.
