Sparkle Wonderful

Hey everyone!

Today I have another scrapbook page. I tried to keep it simple this time which is where I’ve been trying to improve on my layouts. I usually get carried away with all the little elements I can add and overdo all my elements and I think I curbed the urge this time.

I used the Altenew Winter Rose stamp set to stamp out the layers of each rose on black cardstock. I had to use Hero Hues Unicorn white pigment ink to stamp the first layers so it would show up on the black cardstock. I originally used Altenew Dye inks from the sets Pocket Full of Sunshine, Sea Shores and Cherry Blossom, however, they turned into different shades/colours on the unicorn ink. So I had to go over the colours again with the last 3 layers in Color Box pigments inks. This was the only way I could get the right colours to show up on the black cardstock. I think next time, I will experiment with the colour changes that occur on the white pigment ink+black card stock with the Altenew dye inks, but that will be another project. The last layer was stamped with Black Onyx Versafine ink.

I then cut out each flower because I don’t have the associated dies. Next I wanted to use the Title “Sparkle Wonderful” and wanted it to actually sparkle. So I put some double sided adhesive on both sides of a piece of white card stock. On one side I added some Wow Silver iridescent glitter and burnished it in with a bone folder. I then used dies to cut out the desired sentiment “ Sparkle Wonderful’ and the adhesive I had put on the other side made it easy to adhere it to my scrapbook page.

I then placed all my elements on my scrapbook page with black and white stripes which was from a Recollections 12x12 pad. After adhering all my elements with Tombow Mono adhesive, liquid glue and tape runner, I attached my sentiment. I added some clear gem strips in two sizes along with some glitter hearts from that same piece I created. I finished off my piece with a punched flower from black cardstock and a sentiment from the Altenew Precious Moments stamp set, heat embossed in Ranger Silver powder.

I am going to be entering this in the Altenew Sketch Challenge and my colours and layout were from the following sketch.
