Hello Pebbles Friends! It’s Leanne Allinson here today, sharing with you a layout using Pebbles Inc Sunshiny Days collection. Ready to frame the perfect beach shot from your latest Summer Holiday? Lets get started!
When creating this layout, I wanted to make the photo the highlight of the page. Everything else including the patterned paper, embellishments and even the splash of colorshine is there to support the story in the image.
The crisp white cardstock has been machine-stitched to patterned paper with a similar colour tone to the photo. To start my creative process, I flicked a few splashes of Citron Colorshine directly onto the cardstock and allowed it to dry.
The rest of my colour palette also takes inspiration from variations of colour shown in the image. The darkest colours are layered at the bottom of the photo cluster with the lighter colours floating closer to the top. The photo has been layered directly onto the same patterned paper which borders the white cardstock. This is to create a subtle feel of uniformity.
When adding titles to my layouts, I often use a clear plastic ruler to help with alignment. This trick of the trade allows you to move the alpha thickers about the page until you are satisfied with their placement.
Add embellishments to help enhance the story in your layout. I like to have my embellishments, such as the paper die cuts, at varying heights. To achieve this, I add small amounts of foam tape to selected elements.
Stickers, twine and puffy stickers will help draw the eye towards interesting elements on your page. I sometimes like to add embellishments that hide in plain sight!
Finish off the page by adding some journaling to remember your awesome day (all while planning your next outing to the beach!).
Thanks for visiting.
