Week 6 of Around the World in 8 Weeks Challenge at Mystical Scrapbooks

Good Morning,

Today we are starting week 6 of our Around the World in 8 Weeks challenge at Mystical Scrapbooks and the country we are visiting this week is India.

The requirement is to use bright colours.

The technique is foiling

The optional kit item is ribbon

You will find the challenge here

The bright colour I have chosen to use is the bright pink cardstock. I have a 1/4" strip at the top and bottom of my layout, the photo is matted on it and the title is cut from it.

The yellow is quite bright in real life too.

All of the papers on the page have had the edges inked with Versa Colour black Ink

I cut Cocoa Vanilla Daydream - Sunshower paper to 8" x 12".

Uniquely Creative's Gums & Roses - Rosebud Border paper was cut to 4" x 12"

These were attached to a piece of white cardstock with the Sunshower at the top and the Rosebud Border at the bottom.

Two 1/4" strips of the bright pink were attached to the layout, one at the top and one at the bottom.

Along side of the pink, I ran a row of 1/4" double sided tape. I then rubbed Gold Fab Foil on top of this tape so the foil would attach to it giving me a foiled strip along the top and bottom of my layout.

My photo is 5" x 7" and had a white border around it. I trimmed the border to 1/8" all around then matted the photo onto more of the bright pink cardstock with a 1/8" border all around except for the bottom which is torn on a slight angle.

I tied the ribbon from the optional kit to the left hand edge of the photo.

I mounted the photo onto some craft foam before attaching it to the layout.

Lots of fussy cut flowers from Cocoa Vanilla's Daydream - Garden Variety paper were used to embellish along the join of the two patterned papers.
