Forever & Always

Torn Edges And Subtle Polka Dots

Hi scrappers! I’m sharing a very special page this week that I just made as a wedding gift for a good friend. I printed some their engagement photos that I found on Facebook and framed the page I made with them. I hope they love it!

I started with a piece of blue floral paper from DCWV’s Be Mine stack. This paper also has words like “Love” and “Sweetheart” in the pattern which is perfect for the theme. I also used some orange watercolor textured paper by Vicki Boutin and tore pieces of it to layer over the blue paper. I used my fingers to roll the torn edge back to make it more apparent and give a 3D effect. I then tore multiple layers of scrap paper and made layered mats for the photos. I used some paper flowers and stickers by Crate Paper Journal Studio finish the page.

This page was created for the Color Stories Inspiration June challenge. I really liked the whimsical feel of the inspirational image and the fresh color scheme. I used the following “evidence”:

Polka Dots
Birds
Butterflies
Cursive
Vellum

This page was also created for the Scrap Our Stash Challenge which was a scrap lift! I love the torn paper elements since that’s not an element I usually bring to my pages. I used some polk dot paper but not as extensively as in the inspiration page. My polka dots paper had golden dots which didn’t photograph well but I like the shine it added when viewing the page in person.

That’s all for now. As usual, thanks for stopping by my page and I’ll see you next time!
