I decided to go rainbow crazy creating a stamped background. I used the Adore Alpha Stamp Set with a rainbow variety of Pinkfresh Studio Ink Cubes. I used thick smooth white cardstock as the background, and I did coat it with clear gesso first. I stamped LOVE over and over using all the colors. I used a water brush to blur all the edges, making all of the words bleed and spread. I love the "this was left out in the rain" look :)
I used a mix of embellishments from the Let's Stay Home, My Favorite Story & Noteworthy collections down at the bottom.
This looks complicated, but I promise you, it's EASY! You just stamp and then add a bit of water over it. After it dried, I splattered down some white acrylic paint.
I sorted through lots of stickers, chipboard, die cuts and patterned papers to chose pieces that went along with my photo and colors. I found a great mix of goodies, and a lot of them happened to be circles. I just kept adding things here on the side along with some colored thread in a few places.
More stickers and die cuts here...I used a light blue tag, a pink label sticker, some puffy stickers...just a mix of things. I added some cord to the tag to give it a finished look. I added some adhesive foam under the "togetherness" sticker.
I even used a few cute fabric bows from Let's Stay Home. I love how all of these circles tucked in some nicely here with everything.
More stickers here at the top of the photo. I used a few that were contrasting colors to the background here. I used some yellow patterned paper as a layer behind my photo as well as some white tissue paper.
Lots of more close ups here of all the fun colors and details:
I used the multi-colored puffy alphas from Noteworthy for my title.
I hope you'll join us for the challenge this month! You can't go wrong with a rainbow color scheme. They're my favorite! Go HERE to play along.
Here's my process video if you'd like to watch this layout come together:
Thanks for stopping by, and I'll see you again tomorrow!
