Wonderful Shine

Glittering Gold

Happy December everyone! This week I bring you a page featuring a photo that was taken in the spring of 2019. It had rained a lot the previous winter so the spring bloom was especially vibrant that year. My husband and I went out to a flower field near the beach and got some amazing photos!

I started with a piece of purple sparkly paper from DCWV’s Dark Romance stack and matted in with a piece of solid green cardstock. I used some paper scraps and some leaves and gold foil washi tape from Washi Tape Shop. (Have you checked them out yet? Their stuff is amazing!) A paper doily, gold doily garland and a painted feather by Paper Studio made up the major accents. A chipboard embellishment by Heidi Swapp and some stickers from Amy Tangerine and Vickie Boutin sticker books make up the title and word components. I didn’t use as many products as I normally do and the page isn’t as complex, but the embellishments I did use packed plenty of punch.

This page was created for the Lasting Memories December challenge. Since it’s December, most blogs are hosting Christmas related challenges. I don’t have a ton of Christmas or winter photos so these are tough for me to do. This one features traditional Christmas colors but without a lot of the more holiday-specific prompts. We were given several elements to choose from to include on our page. I chose the following:

Doily
The color green
The color gold
Washi Tape
Hearts

This page was also created for The Studio Challenges. This month’s challenge was a scrap lift! I chose the above layout by design team member Lori. My embellishments aren’t nearly as elaborate, especially in the upper left and the color scheme I used was completely different from the original. I loved her use of layering papers and it provided the perfect opportunity to use washi tape.

Thanks for visiting everyone. See you next time!
