Welcome to my blog and follow my work on social media.
Today’s project is all about proving that a scrapbook layout can be both stunning and incredibly simple to put together. I call this my "Simple Layout," and it's built around vibrant rainbow colors and a clean aesthetic.
For this project, I turned to my trusty stamps and dies from Pinkfresh Studio to bring the cheerful color palette to life.
1. The Custom Rainbow Background
Instead of messy ink blending, I took a more streamlined approach to the main background element.
* Digital Design: I first worked out the unique, fan-like shape of the rainbow background digitally. This allowed me to perfectly plan the shape before committing to paper.
* Printing & Texture: After printing the custom rainbow design, I added subtle dimension by incorporating score lines. This simple scoring adds fantastic texture and makes the paper catch the light beautifully, giving it a handcrafted touch even though it was digitally created.
2. A Touch of Vellum Elegance
To add delicate detail and break up some of the bright color, I used a piece of vellum. Vellum is perfect for adding layers without adding visual weight.
* White Heat Embossing: I stamped sentiments or small details onto the vellum and used white heat embossing. The crisp white against the translucent vellum adds a beautiful, sophisticated element that really pops.
3. The Focal Point
The layout was finished by layering all the elements around the main photograph. By keeping the stamping and die-cutting simple and linear, all the focus stays right where it should be—on the memory! The combination of the clean photo frame, the vibrant rainbow, and the soft vellum creates a perfect balance.
