Good Morning,
Today's layout uses a piece of cardstock that I actually created over 12 months ago.
I went to a Scrapbooking Retreat some time ago and one of the things I bought while I was there was some Colour Blast Colour Pastes. These are thick colours that hold their shape and have an iridescent sheen to them. I used my palette knife to swipe the pastes across a piece of white cardstock. I was going to use this sheet as the background for the layout but found it too distracting. The colours of the paste I used are Singing The Blues, Lipstick, Royalty, Sunshine, Sienna and Envy
You can see the process video here.
I tore the coloured cardstock into strips to use on the layout. To create the background I used a 12" x 12" piece of white cardstock and a 11 1/2" x 11 1/2" piece of purple cardstock which I layered on top of each other.
I then used The Crafters Workshop stencil called Dream Girl and some Mont Marte Modelling Paste to create some white texture on the purple cardstock.
When this was dry I used double sided tape to attach the pieces of torn cardstock to the layout so they would lay behind the photo.
The edge of the photo was filed with an emery board and the the edges were inked with Versa Color Violet ink. A piece of self adhesive craft felt is used behind the photo to give it some height when it is attached to the page.
I had recently purchased a tiny sewing machine from Aldi so I used that to stitch around the edge of the purple cardstock with white thread. I found the machine way too noisy and hard to use so went to my normal sewing machine and added the black stitching to the coloured strips and a zig zag stitch over the white stitching I had just done.
The final step for this layout was to punch some hearts from the purple strip of Colour Blast cardstock that I had not used on the background and add them to the right hand edge of the photo.
I am sure you would enjoy watching the process video. It is not very long, only about 7 or 8 minutes and will give you all of the detail.
Thank you for visiting my blog today.
Till next time
Hugs
Julie

I found the machine way too noisy and hard to use so went to my normal sewing machine and added the black stitching to the coloured strips and a zig zag stitch over the white stitching I had just done.
The background needed a bit more depth to it so I used an assortment of tiny stamps along with some Jet Black Stazon ink to stamp randomly over the page. The stamps are an assortment of hearts, arrows and flowers.
The title was cut from black cardstock using my Kaisercraft DD700 Alphabet Upper Case dies. I have attached the title so it runs vertically along the left hand edge of the layout. A coat of Glossy Accents gives the title a lovely glossy finish and helps it to stand out from the stamping on the background.
