bride and groom.

I'm playing along with the June 1 sketch at Let's Get Sketchy - but I rotated it so that my page elements are vertical instead of horizontal.

Here's my page:



My friend got married last October and her photographer posted some amazing pictures on Facebook so I stole one to scrapbook :)

supplies
cardstock: Bazzill (Berry Blush)
mist: Studio Calico Mr Huey's (Hey Diddle Diddle)
patterned paper, die cuts, stickers: Echo Park (Wedding Bliss)

2017.

I've had this black & white photo of my cousins graduation for a year, waiting to be scrapbooked. Finally today I found the inspiration to get it done.



I used a cut file from Paper Issues  and one of their June challenges - to keep everything on the bottom 1/3 of your layout.

I first smeared some clear and white gesso mix behind where my cut file would be. Then I used the packaging technique and just flicked some mist splatters on my page. Thanks for looking!

supplies
mist: Heidi Swapp Color Shine (Black Velvet; Tinsel); Studio Calico Mr Huey's (Shine)
gesso: Prima
patterned paper: Doodlebug

together.

My first page for June! I'm playing along this month's challenge at Off the Rails which is an ocean/sunshine/blues/greens moodboard.



My cut file inspired this page - it's free at Paper Issues! My photo is from a few weeks ago when we went to Key Largo.

I used some distress inks + the packaging technique behind my cut file. Then I added a bunch of Elle's Studio embellishments to my page. Thanks for looking!

supplies
ink: Tim Holtz distress inks (Broken China; Pine Needles; Evergreen Bough)
washi: Doodlebug

I've chosen two stamp sets to work with this month: Brave Girls and Frothy Concoctions. I realize these are supposed to be iced coffee drinks or some fancy frappuccino thing, but I don't drink those kinds of things. Plus, it's summer and I wanted to make a smoothie or an ice cream shake or something fun like that.


So I stamped my 'smoothies' and heat embossed them with yellow and orange embossing powders. Then I fussy cut them. I chose several yellow and orange distress inks and used the packaging technique to apply color to my smoothies.



I used the same technique on my card background, except that I added a pink ink. I couldn't resist. This color combo screams summer to me!
Make sure to head back to the PWP blog next!
