Happy Memories – Layout by Michelle Van Oudtshoorn

Hello lovelies

Oh my goodness – how about this new collection Colour Swatch Inkwell – isn’t it just amazing? I just love the shades of blues!

There were so many beautiful papers in this collection, I didn’t know which to start with! I have used two papers out of the 12 x 12 paper collection – the Color Swatch Inkwell 2 and 3. The base of the layout is the no 2 paper. Leave the bar code section of the paper on and tear a little at the bottom – I left the strip on as I wanted more of the white at the bottom, and I then tore a bit more off the top and adhered this to the no 2 paper. I used 3 square frames from the Color Swatch Inkwell Frame It set, added the two largest Inkwell acetate film strips (cut in half) behind the photos and then added the smaller large filmstrip at the bottom centre – this was then adhered to the page with foam tape.

From here I began with my flower clusters – using laser cut elements (leaves and flowers), Nature’s Bounty Cornflower flowers, a mix of Florets Cornflour and Pacific flowers. I have cut up the leaves from the Nature’s Bounty pack and also separated all the small buds to create my clusters. I have dry brushed the flowers with white paint.

Among my flower clusters I have also added some of the Inkwell Ticket Essentials – these are amazing – there are all sorts of designs and colours in box – ideal for all sorts of scrapbooking pages.

Once I had done here, I added Inkwell rub-on transfers – like the ink blotches, and some wording around the page. I also added a corner feature to the top left and bottom right corners of the page.
I have then added the title “happy memories” which is from the Vintage Artistry Everywhere Chipboard words pack.
