Happy weekend! Sharing a layout I did with a photo I took of Monterey Bay, California last summer.
I changed the hue a little, cooling the colors with more purples and pinks to go with this month's Mood Board Challenge at Scrap Africa. I was inspired by the whole board, from the gorgeous colors, to the flowers, butterfly, ocean, and glass, which I replicated with my flower centers.
My design inspiration came from the beautiful August 15th Sketch at Stuck Sketches.
Around the hole of the tag, I rubbed some Platinum Inka-Gold before adding my fibers. Then I used the Butterfly Collage Stencil, also from TCW, to ink the circles with Distress Inks (Seedless Preserves, Wilted Violet, and Blueprint Sketch) before adding the embossing powder. The butterflies were layered and embossed with black ink using Bo Bunny's Flutter Stamp and also colored with Distress Inks.
The netting I got from my mom was perfect for this page, and has flecks of silver in it.

The background was colored with Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals (Prima Donna Purple and Sassy Sapphire) and Sprays (Afternoon Delight Denim and Witch's Potion Purple). The rest was done with stencils masked with inks, and embossed with Ranger's Rainbow Sparkle Embossing Powder, which I also used to stamp and emboss the stitching, flowers, and butterflies. I used the Well-Rounded Stencil from TCW to mask the black along the left of the photo, and to create the waves on the tag.

The banners were cut from purple and blue vellum, and the edges embossed with Lindy's Stamp Gang Queen Sheba's Silver Embossing Powder. I used Ranger Jet Black Archival Ink and Wilted Violet Distress Ink to ink and emboss the edges of the matting, which I popped up with Pop Dots.
The title was masked with Tim Holtz' Cargo Stencil using Peacock Feathers, Blueprint Sketch, Wilted Violet, and Shaded Lilac Distress Inks. Then I embossed the stitching underneath with Bo Bunny's Stitches Stamp.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
