Thankful For You / Pinkfresh Studio November Challenge

Hey, friends!  The Pinkfresh Studio November Challenge is up over on the blog, and it's all about being thankful :)  The beautiful color scheme is inspired by the Days of Splendor collection.  Check it out!

 

Here's the layout I created.  I began by using one of the leave sprigs from the Autumn Leaves cut file.  I duplicated a few times and welded it together to create one big leafy sprig.  I wanted to use purple on this page, so I backed all the little berries with purple.  I used a patterned paper from the Days of Splendor collection as well as one of the envelope embellishments to do that.   I used thick white cardstock for the background, which I coated with clear gesso.  I used the Liquid Watercolors to create the blue color wash.

 

I fussy cut the blue rounded leaf sprigs from a patterned paper and added them to the cut file in a few places.  I also added in more leafy die cuts.  I used the multicolored small puffy alpha stickers to create my title and mixed it with a piece that I die cut.  I used the Phrase Builder: You Die Set to create the "you."

I added white splatters on the background using white acrylic paint.  I really didn't add to many embellishments...I didn't want to take away from the cut file & the background. 

I did add a bit of light blue tangled thread here under the photo.  I also added some of the Essentials Jewels Mix...I used some purple, green and blue jewels.  They are the perfect little finisher, and they have great sparkle.

I added more thread here on the right side of the photo.  I did fussy cut this camera from a patterned paper since it matched so well.

Here are a few more shots of all the details :)

I did tuck in this piece of an envelope embellishment...I love the texture this creates!

I hope this inspires you to join us for the challenge this month! It was fun to use the moodboard to create this layout.  Be sure to check it out HERE.
