Hello there and welcome back to the 49& Market Blog.
Today, I’m sharing a beautifully festive layout made with the Evergreen Season collection. This collection has my whole heart – it’s full of traditional Christmas Colours, combined with a pop of teal and rustic woodgrains – what’s not to love?!
I’m documenting a trip to the Zurich Christmas Markets in Switzerland last year where we found a large Santa statue and a sleigh – as a scrapbooker, I couldn’t resist a photo!
Using the green and teal papers from the Solids Collection pack, I tore the teal sheet and gently rolled back the edges, placing the bold green underneath for contrast.
Mounting my two photos in frames, I positioned them along the torn paper edge raising them on foam to help them stand proud from the background.
Then, the best bit! The embellishing!! Using the Laser Cut Elements and Wildflower Laser Cuts I created two large clusters on either side of my photos, laying some foliage flat and then raising the next layer on foam to create depth. To help bring the layout to life, I stuck just the bottom of the stems to the paper and then rolled the ends of the leaves around a small paintbrush or pen to give them movement. This really helps draw your eye into and across the layout.
Under the foliage, I added a few rub-ons for that extra splash of colour and interest.
Being a big kid at heart, I love the festive season and will always believe in the magic of the season, so the ‘believe’ chipboard title seemed to fit perfectly with the photos – particularly the one with Santa!
As a final touch, and because it’s Christmas, I sprinkled some of the red and white striped Wishing Bubble Epoxy Stickers and a few gold sequins from my stash into the design and that was the page complete.
