Another attempt at scrapbooking


Well here is another attempt at scrapbooking, but I think this page turned out better than the last. It helps when you have a beautiful subject. I can't speak for all the other Mums out there, but I always seem to get suckered in to photo competitions with my kids. I have done really well up until now to avoid the stands - but this time I didn't and of course when I saw the photos I wanted them all.
For this page I just took colours from the photos for inspiration. The cardstock colours are barely banana, chocolate chip and apple cider DS paper (from the spring mini). The flowers are from the baroque motif stamp set (pg 98) and have been stamped in so saffron, cut out and adhered with stampin' dimensionals. The barely banana cardstock looked a little plain so I rolled it with the so swirly roller (pg 105) in versamark. I think my roller may have had some remnants of ruby red on it, but I like the effect it has created. I have also taken my white gel pen and gone around the outside of the chocolate chip cardstock for definition - and that's pretty much it. Hope you like!!!
Materials used:
Cardstock: Barely banana, chocolate chip, whisper white & apple cider DS paper
Stamp sets: Baroque motifs & so swirly
Stamp pads: So saffron
Accessories: Stampin' dimensionals & white gel pen
