#Italy - a Challenge YOURself prompt

Hey everyone!

Today I'm bringing you a new layout inspired by a challenge over at the Challenge YOURself blog. The challenge is to use RED and STAMPING on your layout. As always, you're also required to scrap a photo of yourself!

I thought this would be a great challenge for a photo of my mother and myself from our recent Disneyworld trip.


A trend I have been seeing more of lately is non-white backgrounds, and I'm LOVING it! I have never adhered to the mostly white background layout exclusively, so maybe I'm just happy that my style may be starting to trend? Haha!


I softened the black background paper with some silver texture paste and a heart stencil, as well as some new white HS color shine I just got (although it looks silver to me!).


We took this photo in "Italy" in Epcot. I thought it was just such a pretty display. It was a beautiful day as well.


I incorporated the stamping aspect of the challenge with this Tim Holtz Rome landscape stamp that I embossed on some vellum & fussy cut.

Supplies:
B&W polka dot paper - Becky Higgins
Buffalo check paper - American Crafts
Star paper - Pink Paislee
Doily - Michaels
Red Chipboard sticker - Me & My Big Ideas
Stamp - Tim Holtz
Metallic texture paste and Color Shine - Heidi Swapp

Thanks for looking!
