All Kinds of Awesome

Embellishments Only

Welcome back to my page! I’ve been busy putting together another layout for another challenge. These photos were taken last Fall in a ark overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. It was super windy as you can see in the second photo, but worth it for the breath-taking views.

This page is very different from my usual style. Most of the time, I will use several, if not a dozen different papers, even if it’s just small scraps. For the first time I have used one piece of paper. No accents, no mats for my photos, nothing! The wood grain paper from The Paper Studio’s Dendrology stack is all I used. Everything else is stickers and embellishments. As a result, this page took me half the time to create since al I had to do was arrange all their pieces to my liking and glue them down. If you’re looking to fast track making a page and have a ton of bits and bobs that need to be used up this is the perfect technique.

The page was created for Color, Story, Inspiration’s May challenge. As you can see, the mood board heavily influenced the look of my page, not just with the color palette, but the sketch itself. I mimicked placing objects on a wooden background, giving it a similar look. I also noticed the mood board includes a character from one of my favorite childhood movies My Neighbor Totoro. It just so happens the shirt was wearing in these photos features the same character! How’s that for serendipity?

Evidence Used:

Wood Background
Donuts
Metal
Camera
Clock
Something Glossy
Jewels

That’s all for this time Stay safe everybody!
