This month I sat down and created using Prima's July BAP (Build a page) as my inspiration. It was a very bright and cheery sketch by Kasia Kryminska.
And while I stuck to the sketch pretty closely, my colours and the brightness didn't.
I choose more muted colours with a black and white photo. I chose muted flowers, and used stencils and texture paste and muslin to add texture to my layout.
I used Prima's color bloom sprays to colour the resin frame. It went from white to grey. LOVE the new colour and look.
There is a wee sneak peek on this layout. See those stars made from texture paste (coloured grey to match the rest of the layout), they are a new Finn stencil which Prima are bringing out at CHA in July. Yay!
I really like the way this layout is quite simple, allowing the journaling and photo to be the stars. And I really love how when you are short of time, or stuck in a mojo less place, a sketch can help boost your creativity.
If you give the BAP a go, make sure you enter Prima's BAP challenge by linking your project on their blog.
Go on, it'll be fun!
Omgosh!! That is just beautiful!! I really, really like what you have done over the top of the frame. I'm not sure if it's wire or string though. Totally wicked!
