Best time Ever - Layout by Adri

Hello, 49 and Market fans!

Welcome to the blog today.

For this layout I used the Great Big World paper from the Vintage Artistry Everywhere 12×12 Collection.

In 2007 my husband and I visit China. To get photographs of the Monks not only requires you to get their permission, but you have to be in the right place at the right time. I took this photo of the two friendly Buddhist Monks in the Forbidden City in Beijing.

Here is my layout.

To create the background, I added two maps in the left and right corners using images from the VA Everywhere 12×12 Color Wash Rub-on Transfer Sheet, words from the 6×8 Album Kit, and edges and stamps from the Rub-on Transfer set. I wanted to add some red elements to my layout and used butterflies from the 6×8 Spectrum Gardenia Botanical Rub-on Transfer Set.

I layered the matted photo on pieces from the Everywhere laser cut elements and ephemera bits. For a splash of red, I used some of the red and white frames, and ephemera bits from the ARToptions Holiday Wishes collection. The layers were glued to one of the papers from the 6×8 Collection Paper pack collection and then glued on my layout.

I used two clusters from the amazing Everywhere cluster kit on my layout. I changed it a bit by adding elements from the ephemera bits, laser cut elements and chipboard words.

I used my Silhouette to cut out the Geo Tag and layered it with a red butterfly from the Spectrum Gardenia Butterfly Laser Cuts Elements, and V/A Everywhere chipboard elements.

Here I used a blue butterfly from the Spectrum Gardenia Butterfly Laser Cuts Elements.
The final touches to this layout included wishing bubbles, baubles, washi stickers, and splatters with diluted white gesso.
