scrapbook layout: happy birthday
Creative Weekly is going on at the Crate Paper blog this week. This time, the design team picked their own inspiration images as a starting point to a project. I was drawn to this beautiful book cover of watercolor stripes.
I created my own page of stripes with my peerless watercolor papers on a base of cream cardstock. I don't have a lot of experience with watercolors, but these watercolor papers are much more vibrant that I ever imagined watercolors could be!
I cut away a portion of my stripes and used it as a layer on this layout about my son's 17th birthday last year using The Pier collection. (I really can't believe he'll be 18 in just a couple weeks!!)
Supplies used:
Cool idea - looks great and still simple! Love your layout!
ReplyDeleteI really like how you worked the inspiration photo into the design and the page still feels masculine despite the softer colour palette. I've not seen those watercolour papers before but I really like the rich, vibrant colours they've given you.
ReplyDeletelove the layout you created from such simple inspiration!
