You Colour My World

Hello again my scrappy friends :) I made this layout for a challenge over at Berry71bleu hosted by the incredibly talented Kay Fatula. The theme is "You Colour My World" and the challenge is to use paint in any form on your layout. Of course my darling little niece Isabella fits the theme just perfectly. I became very frustrated with this layout as I really struggle to work with more than three colours at most but it kind of came together in the end. I painted the background paper with some gesso and I also painted the little scalloped chipboard circle.I also used Kay's very clever method of rolling journaling into a scroll when you find that you don't have much space on your page especially when you have a bit to say...lol!! What I love about doing journaling this way is that it actually serves as an embellishment at the same time. Thank you Kay...you are such a clever lady :)

On this layout I also used the very cute little FWAB Trent's Fence Puffy from Flourish With A Bling and also some pretty little pearls from Flourish With a Bling  which are the FWAB Adhesive Pearls 100 Pack Pewter. Well, that's me for today. Need to get ready for a hectic week at work again.

Well, that's all from me for today...till next time, stay safe and take care!x

    This is precious--your niece is absolutely adorable! Love how you gave the background texture with the gesso. The window that holds the photo is so visually appealing as well--that's what caught my eye first. So glad you find the scroll journaling helpful--it really does solve the issue when you have lots to say & either don't want to hide it behind the layout or take up too much room on your page. Thank you for joining us at Berry71Bleu!!
