First Of All, You’re Really Pretty

Busy Florals And Vellum Shakers

Hi everyone! Today’s page features my kitty Europa who is a turkish angora mix. She’s very pretty and very fluffy. She’s also very photogenic so I can’t stop taking photos of her!

I started with some retro floral print paper by Recollections. This paper makes a bold statement but is also very busy. To be honest, I probably should have used smaller pieces as accents rather than the entire page, but that’s not what happened. Because my background paper has so much going on, I kept embellishments simple and only used a few.

Some deep blue paper from Paper Pizazz made a good mat for my photos and I used some paper scraps in colors that complimented my background paper. I like the metallic orange paper since it gives a different finish and the tan and white paper features an organic pattern that mimics the petals in the flowers.

I had some really old vellum tags in a green color that went well with my palette. I filled the pockets with some sequins and sealed the flaps with some stickers from a Dear Lizzy sticker book to create a custom shaker. Some embellishments from Bo Bunny’s Floral Spice collection also go well with my background paper.

This page was created for the Sketches in Thyme June challenge (Sketch 473.) I kept the theme of multiple mats and stacking my photos vertically. However, I simplified the embellishment clusters by using tags instead along with a kitty and speech bubble stickers for my title.

That’s all for now. Thank you for stopping by and I’ll see you soon!
