Packing a Colorful Punch

Hey Scrap Fans! Today's layout was inspired by a video in the "Inspired" series at Two Peas in a Bucket by Paige Evans:

I loved the colorful clouds in this layout and thought it would be perfect for the pictures I took of Libby on her seventh birthday. 


Since Libby is a total ham and had to wear her rainbow tutu and birthday cake headband for her birthday, I knew this colorful rainbow pattern would suit these pics perfectly. I went through my scrap basket and picked out colors for the rainbow, punched the clouds with my Fiskars cloud punch (I used the medium one, I think Paige May have used the large). I inked all the cloud edges with Heidi Swapp brown archival ink and the new Tim Holtz round ink blending tool then layered them overlapping down the page. I decided to use two rows of each color so the pattern would be further down on the page. I adhered the clouds to this cloud paper from the Maggie Holmes Styleboard collection and then layered the three photos. I cut my title "Seven" from white core'dinations cardstock on my Silhoutte Cameo. I found the "Seven" in the Silhoutte store.  I added a few scattered embellishments here and there over their corresponding cloud colors. 

I hope you are as inspired by this layout as much as I was inspired by Paige Evan's. I encourage you to shop your scrap stash, pull out your punches and play with layering different shapes and colors. The possibilities are endless and the results are so much fun! Until next time, Happy Scrappin'!!
