Hey crafty people,
I am back with another scrapbook layout. I had an old photo of mine and some floral embellishments left from a collection lying with me and I thought of using up those for this layout. The photo and the embellishments both had a hint of blue in them so I knew what color I had to go with.

Since the sheet was plain white, I started with creating a blue background with the help of two different shades of ink pads. I started with blending the darker shade of blue on the edges and then used a lighter shade of blue towards the inside of the page. I made sure to blend the two shades with each other properly where they met.

Then I took my photo and trimmed it down to size. I used two different papers, one patterned blue sheet and other a plain blue card stock to mat the photo. Instead of placing them straight on top of each other, I placed them a little tilted and then placed it in the center of the page. After that I made a cluster of fussy cut flowers and leaves at the bottom and lower left side of the photo. I also inked the edges of all the embellishments with the light blue shade so that the fit in the layout nicely.

I had a wreath shaped embellishment left with me so I added it on the top left corner. To fill the wreath, I chose a “girl boss” sentiment and pasted it in the center of the wreath. I inked the edges of these two as well with same blue shade. To finish of the layout, I added few blue crystal stickers in the background to give that extra dimension.

I started off this layout with something else in my mind but it eventually turned out to be a blue themed layout. For me, using just a single color in my spreads is not my usual go to thing. However, I was so happy that I went ahead and stick to just one color as it turned out really pretty. Sometimes, it’s actually nice to get out of your comfort zone and try something new.
