Creative Scrappers #282

Happy Sunday, friends!  It's already time for another new Creative Scrappers sketch!  If you love layering, then this one is for you.  Lots of fun opportunities for paper layers and embellishment layers!

Here's what I created.  I used the Crate Paper Open Book collection.  This line is just beyond beautiful, and it's overflowing with embellishments.  It's really hard to choose which ones to use because there are so many.  I decided on using this striped paper as my background and add lots of color on top of it.  Although I'm happy with this layout, it's not my favorite.  I can't pinpoint why...I love all the elements, but I just feel like something is missing.  That's just me over-analyzing myself...it's just scrapbooking, right?! :D

Here's a closer look at the layers I created.  In place of the circles on the sketch, I used vellum.  I also added in sequins and gold thread.  I love this scalloped chipboard banner...I just had to use it here.

More layers.  I used pop dots under the photos and the title.  It's amazing how raising up a few of your elements can really add some depth to the design.  Aren't those little gold banner pieces so cute?  There is an entire sheet of gold stickers in this collection.

One last image of the top layers.  I did use several rub-ons throughout the page as well.  They're really pretty and so much fun to use.  And I wish I could just use gold thread to stitch on everything in sight...it's soooo pretty.
